Dress "Tatyanka" - for a graceful figure

Surely all women of fashion have heard about such a style of dress as a "tatyanka dress". Have you ever wondered why such a given style of outfit was called "tatyanka"? The most plausible version is the one in which it is argued that this style is named after the main heroine of the famous novel by Alexander Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" - Tatiana. It was in this style that the costumes for theatrical actors of the female roles of the ballet "Eugene Onegin" were sewn.

Now the tatyanka dress is very popular with fashionistas. This is due to the fact that this style is universal - it can be worn by women with different figures and physiques. The second reason for its versatility is that dresses of this style can be completely different in terms of their purpose. It can be cocktail, casual and even business attire.

A clear distinctive feature of the “tatyanka” dress is that its bottom has folds starting from the waist. This shape of the dress resembles the shape of an hourglass. The fluffy skirt makes the figure more feminine and delicate. The upper part of the dress, including the cut-out sleeves, is different. They can be short, long, or absent altogether (which makes the shoulders open). A closed dress can be with a V-neck or round neckline.

As already noted, Tatyanka dresses are universal. They are suitable for girls with different shapes. This dress will turn a slender girl into a delicate doll. For those with an hourglass figure, it will emphasize the dignity and make the image more feminine and graceful. Also, the dress will well hide the curvy hips in women with a triangle-like figure.

When choosing the length of the dress, it must be borne in mind that it visually shortens the growth of the body.Therefore, it is better for short women to purchase models with a short skirt. We do not recommend dresses of this style for women with an apple-shaped figure, for the reason that a fluffy skirt will only add volume to their figure.

An outfit with this style can be sewn from a wide variety of fabrics. The main thing is that the fabric is soft and can be easily draped into small and large folds. Summer models of dresses are sewn from silk, chiffon, thin linen, lace or chintz.

"Tatyanka dress" can be worn at any time of the year. The main thing is that the fabric is suitable for the weather. The material can have various prints: polka dots, stripes, flowers, geometric shapes, abstraction, etc., and it is not necessary that the pattern covers the entire outfit. For example, the upper part can be sewn from a solid material, and the skirt from a checkered one. In this case, the waist area can be decorated with a stylish belt or a beautiful bow. The skirt can be made from one or more materials.

To create extra volume under the skirt, you can wear a petticoat. In addition, dresses with two-layer skirts are unusually beautiful. The bottom layer, in this case, needs to be made longer and trimmed around the hem with lace or other decorative fabric. Despite the fact that the dress has a fairly simple cut, it can look chic, solemn and expensive if you choose the right accessories for it.

"Tatyanka" can be worn with wide or narrow belts, with boleros, with fitted blazers, sweaters, leather and denim jackets. Raincoats and loose-fitting coats are perfect as outerwear. To create a business look, a checkered dress with a closed top and a fluffy bottom is perfect. If the dress has open shoulders, then you can add a beautiful shawl to the look.

The choice of accessories for a tatyanka dress, first of all, depends on the color and style of the dress. In a business style, it is better to limit yourself to a stylish bag or a laconic clutch in dark shades. Necklaces, beads, bracelets and bows will look ridiculous here. However, a festive outfit in this style can be decorated with a long string of pearls, bracelets and a stylish clutch. Accessories should be of the same shade or different tones of the same color. However, we strongly recommend choosing accessories in muted shades for a bright outfit. You can add a decorative flower on the belt or shoulder to a romantic dress.

"Tatyanka dress" can be worn with a variety of shoes. But it is much better to combine it with high heels or platform shoes. They help maintain a straight posture, and present the shape of the legs in the best possible way. These can be beautiful and elegant shoes, ankle boots, sandals, wedges or small boots.
