The size of a woman's wardrobe sometimes knows no bounds. To save at least a little, it is worth following the advice of fashion trendsetters and paying attention to stylish new items. Today, a transformer dress is popular - a unique model made of thick knitwear with a complex cut. Its presence in the wardrobe will always prevent the situation of "nothing to wear".
Pros and cons
A classic transformable dress is a long bell-shaped or sun-shaped skirt with two wide strips of fabric sewn on, up to 2 m long. Mainly knitwear or viscose is used for sewing. These fabrics are dense, they hold their shape well, are elastic, do not wrinkle, and the stitched straps do not fall off the woman’s shoulders while wearing them.
The choice of a dress with a complex cut is determined by the following advantages:
- Variety – a classic transformable dress can be transformed into more than 50 models. Fantasy is not limited to creating a dress – options for trousers and skirts are possible.
- Quick and easy image creation – each model takes no more than a minute to complete.
- If you have the desire and skill, the dress can be easily sewn by yourself – using knitwear or viscose, no additional edge processing is required. The absence of piping makes the model even more versatile.
- Quick dressing – often a woman has to change the style of her dress. The problem can be easily solved with a transformable dress by crossing the straps or moving the skirt.
- Variety when traveling - a dress is recommended for traveling, as it does not take up much space in a suitcase and provides a variety of looks during your vacation.
It is necessary to highlight the possibility of using a children's dress-transformer - girls are terrible fashionistas, and parents can help them show their imagination. Knitted fabrics of the presented model act as a "pipe" - a long rectangle with one seam. From such a model, you can create attractive styles for girls.
Among the disadvantages, the following can be highlighted:
- Aesthetic inconvenience – women are not used to wearing clothes that are “gathered” from numerous knots. There are concerns about their integrity being compromised.
- Some styles do not accept the use of a bra - women with sagging or large breasts cannot take advantage of all the possibilities of the presented clothes.
- Color monotony - the variety of styles does not change color, so the dress becomes boring very quickly.
The cost of the dress is low - today this outfit is available to everyone. It is important to pay attention to the quality of the fabric when choosing, since very cheap models imply low-quality knitwear. During wear, it will curl, constantly exposing the chest, and will also lose its appearance after several washes.
Transformation options
Let's look at universal (suitable for all body types) options for transforming the classic transformable dress model.
Classic evening style
To recreate an evening dress-transformer, you need to do the following:
- Place the skirt at waist level, placing wide straps in front.
- Raise the straps up and spread them across the chest.
- Wrap it behind the neck and bring the ends forward at the waist.
- Next, wrap the ends around the waist and send them back, where they are tied into a bow.
A closed dress is created in a similar way - the straps are straightened and lowered onto the shoulders. This is the only version of the most closed style of a classic cut transformer dress. The style can be made more open if the straps are sent back and pulled under the armpit area. Then the ends are tied in the manner shown above.
Strapless style
The model of the cut in question can be easily transformed into strapless styles, for which the following steps must be taken:
- Put the dress on with the skirt at the waist, placing the straps in front.
- They need to be spread out across their entire width.
- Next, wrap one strap around the chest, moving the dress piece to the opposite side.
- Having returned the strap forward, similar actions are performed with the second part.
- If necessary, the straps are crossed and wrapped around the chest again.
- At the end, the straps are tied into a bow either at the front or at the back.
You can add a sexy touch to the style by placing a second layer of straps under the bust, one under the other. This will create a standard-shaped bra.
If you want to make a short dress-transformer, pull the skirt up to the armpit area and cross the straps at the waist. The result is a strapless style that emphasizes the figure.
Dress-transformer into trousers
The classic model can be transformed into harem pants. To do this, follow these steps:
- The skirt is put on at waist level with the straps facing forward.
- The straps are lowered down and passed between the legs, moving parts of the dress back.
- The straps need to be crossed and pulled forward at the waist.
- The free ends are crossed at the waist and tied in the front or back, or on the side, into a bow.
These harem pants are suitable for a beach outing or a walk in hot weather. It is not recommended to transform a dress into pants for a formal reception.
Who is it suitable for?
Classic type transformable dress is suitable for:
- slim girls with small breasts - they can use all styles without exception. The absence of rounded shapes will not provoke excessive twisting of the fabric and will not expose piquant charms;
- girls with large breasts - such girls can wear strapless styles, but only if they have special underwear. It is recommended to use silicone pads that hold the breasts, giving them additional shape;
- for full-figured women, a transformable dress is a salvation in choosing a style, since here you can try all the options and choose the one that best emphasizes your figure;
- pregnant girls - expectant mothers and girls whose weight is constantly changing due to unstable nutrition.
The presented model of the transforming dress suits all types of figures – pear, apple, rectangle, hourglass. The girl only has to choose the right styles from the numerous possible ones. This argument can also be attributed to the disadvantages of the model – due to the features of the figure, the girl will not be able to take advantage of the variety of the dress.
The disadvantage of the dress may be the fact that the style is "unevenly" attractive. Often the style is refined from the front and highlights the best forms of the girl, but from the back the appearance is completely different. The back looks massive under the twisted straps, which adds extra weight to the girl. The style should be chosen to emphasize only the best contours of the figure.
How to wear it correctly
The presented outfit allows you to wear it all day long - in the office and at a business meeting, as well as during an evening reception and a simple walk. It is only important to correctly combine styles with additional accessories to be on top in all situations. In this case, you need to use the following tips:
- If a girl is going to wear a dress all day and attend several events, it is recommended to choose shoes with a low and stable heel;
- shoes should be neutral in color – black, gray, beige, white;
- sandals with high or medium thin heels are perfect for a transformable dress;
- in winter, you should give preference to low boots with thin stiletto heels;
- It is better to buy a universal bag - a small envelope on a thin strap, it can be made in the form of a chain;
- In winter, it is better to keep warm by wearing leggings, a turtleneck or a knitted cardigan.
As for jewelry, in this case it is chosen according to the occasion. Open styles are in harmony with thin chains, small pendants, miniature earrings and bracelets. If you plan to spend the evening in a restaurant, then you wear more flashy jewelry, long earrings and thick bracelets.
Popular models
The transforming dress has undergone a certain evolution in the creation of models, so today girls can pay attention to more modern proposals. The most interesting and popular include the following types of cut:
- Beach option – here you can use large silk scarves or pareos. They are wrapped around the waist, the ends are tied in a bow in the front, crossed on the neck in a knot, the lower edge of the scarf is pulled up to get a shortened model. You can diversify the image with colored ribbons, brooches and other additional accessories.
- A prom dress - a standard floor-length transformer is best chosen in the Greek style. This model uses laces instead of fabric straps. They are attached to the corners of the fabric and allow you to experiment with creating styles. For prom, the assembly of a Greek dress is attractive - two laces are tied at the neck, and the other two ends are twisted around the waist and tied with laces under the chest. In the summer, this option is the most convenient.
- Wedding dress – in most cases, a dress with a detachable skirt is used. The model is lush with a corset at the waist and a seductive neckline. After the official part, the upper skirt is unfastened, the bride remains in a short, figure-hugging dress. There is a more complex model, which implies the separation of the lower part of the "one-piece" skirt - it is fastened with buttons or a zipper.
- A dress-skirt is a limited model that allows you to transform the dress only into a long skirt. The presented models are suitable for girls with a good figure and small breasts.
- The winter version of the transformer - the dress is presented in the form of a long loose sweater with sleeves and extended cuffs. This model can easily be transformed into a sweater, tunic, or a sophisticated figure-hugging dress (using a belt or wide sash).
It is worth noting that the use of decorative pins, elastic bands, fabric potholders and other additional accessories helps to create 2-3 times more styles that suit the figure. It is important not to be afraid to show imagination and add accessories.
