When shopping for a dress online, at the mall, or in
your favorite fashion clothing store, you may come to find yourself overwhelmed
if not knowing about the different styles there are to choose from. I was
completely stuck and stumped when I realized there were so many different kinds
of dresses. I didn’t know that dresses
came in all these different kinds of styles.
I knew dresses came in all different colors, all different sizes, and
all different lengths; but what more was there to know about a dress? There are
many different styles of dresses out there; but here are thirteen types, kinds,
and styles of dresses and a little bit of information about them to get you on
the right track to shopping for the perfect kind of dress:
1. The Little Black
dress - This is the dress that we go to
when there are doubts to what it is that we should actually where to an
event. You absolutely cannot go wrong
with “the little black dress”. This is
also used as a backup dress just incase the dress that we are about to walk out
the door with, rips or gets soiled. This is often called the “emergency” or “last
minute” dress. It is often short, black, and pretty much can come in any sort
of design or pattern. We just know that
it is literally “the little black dress”.
2. The Sheath
dress: This dress is the dress that snugs your body tightly. It is usually knee length or falls to the
lower thighs. These sheath dresses can
be strapless or have spaghetti straps.
3. The Bubble dress: This dress has a wide puffy
skirt and it is usually loose in the middle.
4. The Tunic
dress: This dress looks like a long shirt and is usually worn with leggings.
5. The
Asymmetrical Hem dress: This dress is
bohemian yet sophisticated. It is created that the hem lines are all different
lengths. Some parts of the dress are
long in front while short in back, or viceversa. These dresses also sometimes
will appear diagonal-cut, when one side of the dress dips and the other rises
up to the highest point.
6. The Ball
Gown: This is a formal dress,
full-length dress, suitable for wearing to a ball.
7. The Blouson Dress: This dress has a fabric blousing over a
fitted waistband.
8. The
Maxi Dress: A maxi dress is a long,
flowing dress that is nearly floor length.
It often features tank top style or halter style straps. This usually
goes into the summer wardrobe.
9. The Peplum Dress: This dress is a short overskirt that is
usually attached to a fitted jacket.
10.
The Shift Dress:
This dress has straight lines and doesn’t hug the body’s curves or cinch
the waist. The classic version is sleeveless and knee-length.
11.
The Shirt Dress:
This style of dress includes a collar, a button front, and is usually
made up in crisp fabrics like cotton or silk.
They are much like a men’s dress dress shirt and sometimes feature
a belt to define the waist.
12.
The Tiered Dress:
This dress has many layers sewn on one after the other. It is almost
like a wedding cake, with many tiers to the cake.
13.
The Wrap Dress:
This is a dress with a front closure formed by wrapping one side across
the other, and knotting the attached ties that wrap around the back at the
waist or fastening buttons. This dress is pretty much self- explanatory,
wrapping the body.
So there you have thirteen of the most popular styles of dresses and now it will be easier for you to actually know what kind of dress you are exactly looking for.
