Choosing an outfit for a celebration: from a princess dress to a daring mini!
Caroline herrera Summer is not only the time for vacations and gatherings in the country, but, of course, the wedding season! And what kind of sewing girl does not dream to sew a dress (and maybe not only herself, but also the bride, her mother and five bridesmaids) to shine in it and collect enthusiastic looks, compliments and a little embarrassed to answer that, they say, yes, I sewed it myself!

There is always a reason
I am very sorry that for all my last three years of hobby for sewing, I have never managed to sew an outfit for a really significant celebration! Of course, it’s far-fetched, from the series “Ehh, whoever would call for a wedding, or there’s no reason to sew an elegant dress ...” But I believe that someone was luckier this summer than me!
And why, in fact, only a wedding? After all, you can throw a birthday on a grand scale. And if you have it in December, then move your beloved girlfriend to this matter. Also sew her outfit too! In general, the main thing is to set a goal, but there is a reason!
Here for such special occasions we will choose a special dress today!
Caroline herrera No place for experimentation
Wedding or, rather, even solemn fashion, is now incredibly diverse, but personally I am a big conservative in this matter! One day, looking at the wedding dresses of the famous XX-th century, I discovered how funny the outfits look, which reflected some very specific fashion of that time. Recall, for example, the huge, cake-like dress of Princess Diana.
But today we will look for dresses that can be safely called immortal classics, tested over the years, so that, looking at the photos from the celebration, we recall the beauty of the moment, and not the hot trends of 2019!
Monique lhuillier Princess for a day
What girl did not dream of becoming a princess in childhood? And when, even in our lives, can we make this dream a reality, if not on the wedding day? If this dream does not let you go, I see no reason not to, as they say, not close gestalt and not become a princess for one day! Moreover, to sew such beauty with your own hands is quite realistic.

It's good that there are so many patterns in Burda that can be used to create a dream outfit - just grab a suitable bodice and add a full skirt! From the point of view of the figure, the central element here, of course, is the waist! Therefore, if your waistline does not quite suit you, it is better to give preference to other styles.

Elegance - in simplicity
What to do to those girls who are not seduced by a fluffy skirt of a dozen layers of tulle? For my personal taste, there is nothing more beautiful and eternal than a simple silhouette made of beautiful fabric!
I would boldly give preference to silk or matte satin, chiffon and, of course, lace and sewing. I would leave printed fabrics for more casual outfits, although who knows, maybe you will be able to use the print especially advantageously!
Dresses with a skirt, popularly referred to as the "mermaid tail", look very beautiful and truly solemn. Elegant, chic and not as pompous as a cloud of tulle.In everyday life, I usually warn girls against choosing a similar cut (for example, a year's skirt), because often they require a heel, but here is another matter. The only thing, I still do not recommend such a cut for girls whose hip circumference is significantly (2-3 sizes) larger than the chest circumference.

Straight silhouettes are also my love! But if only a girl with a perfectly flat tummy can afford the first dress below, then the second model (with a looser fit) will suit almost all figures (adjust the degree of fit individually), and beautiful lace or satin silk will give such a simple model the desired degree of elegance! All that remains is to add chic shoes (by the way, you can safely choose bright colors - blue, green, red) and luxurious earrings!
