Womens Fashion ? Whats The Latest Style Statement

Finding the right dress for the type of your body shape is a MUST where you can smash up, even the super models! In order to get that right body wear you should know you’re self very well as wearing any kind of dress might make fashion faux in which you are not comfortable but you want to wear as it is in trend. You need to make the trend your self and set your OWN STLYE STATEMENT and make new rules, rather than going behind the actresses and models as they shape up their body through working out!

There are many do’s and don’ts while choosing an attire, especially if you are short or tall, bulky or thin, have big butt or small, long neck, color of your eyes and hair, etc. First impression is the last impression, as everyone knows, even in the fashion world especially for a woman where the opposite sex gets attracted. Also choosing the right fashion accessories is a must which should go well or blend well with the dress you are going to wear. Picking up any kind of dress you must know in and out of it, say the type of cloth you are choosing – cotton, silk, etc; how to wash it and iron it and maintain them well.

For a taller woman, wearing long skirts makes you look tall. If using belts over pants or skirts, don’t wear it too tight. High collared for those who have short neck is a NO, but better to go for a neck deep cut top to elongate your neck. To flatter your figure (for petite women), contrast colors are best by adding a scarf or belt with your pants or skirts. If you are heavy bottom, then use dark colors bottoms and tops light color because people will look at the light color and your bottom will be unnoticed being darker shade. Tapered skirts are strictly NO for your lower body. Woman who are heavy from the upper part of the body, use soft flowing fabrics. Use dark colors on top and light on the bottom. You can go for V-neck tops so that the upper part doesn’t show up too much. Just wear clothes according to the shape of your body and which is comfortable making your own trend and style statement.

Fashion Trends in the 1930s

When people felt the negative impact of the Great Depression, designers stopped experimenting because of the lessened demand for clothes.

Trends in women fashion though emphasized a romantic, womanly silhouette. The waist was brought back to its proper position, with hemlines being dropped. Fashion emphasized on the bust, while backless evening gowns became the norm. The female body was modified to a more contemporary tone, while having athletic bodies became a trend. The popularity of having slim and toned down bodies resulted into couturiers to manufacture what is now known as the sportswear. While the concept of “ready-to-wear” was unknown then, boutiques were already making clothes known as being “for sport.”

In the 1930s, Elsa Schiaparelli with Madeleine Vionnet rose to prominence. Both were known for their innovative designs while not shattering the fundamentals of fashion. Schiaparelli became popular with her black knitted white bow. She became known for her exciting designs since then. Some of her noteworthy creations were the desk suit complemented with drawers for pockets, and the shoe-shaped hat. She also made silk dresses colored with flies.

Vionet on the other hand got her inspiration in designing clothes from ancient statues. She created classical gowns that more often than not seemed taken out of a Greek frieze. She also manufactured dresses that suited the body less the unwarranted accessories, in turn creating a flowing and stylish line. By the time she retired at the end of the decade, Vionnet had enjoyed a reputation among fashion industry movers.
