Fabrics for New Year's dresses

New Year's celebration. He captivates us with his magic and the dream of a fairy-tale prince, of crystal shoes, or maybe just a child's dream of a scarlet flower.

Often our everyday life is similar to each other, and the holidays are so different, and I would like to keep them in memory for a long time. Try to show your imagination, create your festive look. And luxurious fabrics will help in this.

At the present time, even casual clothes are characterized by rich decor, and even in the evening, especially in New Year, should be truly royal luxury.

New trends emerge from season to season. But in modern fashion, the main thing remains - free choice from almost the entire history of European costume - the Renaissance, the heyday of the Baroque, especially luxuriously embodied in Versailles fashion, the brilliant Empire style, the luxury of the motifs of the Russian costume with furs and souls, Russian boyar clothes, which are very well combined with European fashions. And it turns out something like a carnival procession, which is required on the New Year's holiday.

Sometimes the question of a New Year's costume not only complicates, but turns out to be a problem, what to wear after all? Perhaps many of you have already turned over your wardrobe more than once, thinking over every detail, trying it on to one or another outfit, or may be puzzled in choosing a fabric for a new dress on a New Year's magical holiday.

Some women only imagine their new outfit when they go shopping and see the bright, luxurious fabrics that beckon to them. And looking at them, the style is immediately born. Or maybe you have already made your choice - you will be the Princess at the ball or the Queen, perhaps even Snowy, or maybe Cinderella in a ball gown? In the New Year, probably none of you wants to be Baba Yaga. In any case, if you are going to sew a new outfit, you should think about the fabric.

Velvet is a luxurious fabric, embossed velvet, “burrowed”, quilted, cloquet ... Next to the royal velvet, elastic and relatively heavy fabrics appear that freely keep their shape - taffeta, brocade, jacquard fabric, matlassé. In jacquards and matlasse, the shine emphasizes the relief of the pattern.

Perfectly combines wool and silk... Fabrics of different textures seem to play with each other - a spectacular contrast between matte and shiny, fluffy and smooth. Often a monochromatic color scheme of different textures attracts attention. Sometimes subtle colors or a slight change in the texture of fabrics decorate an outfit, enrich it, and there is no need to come up with some special complex cut.

For sculptural effects, fabrics with metallic threads, flowing silk or satin are good. As a decoration, rhinestones and other reflective decorative elements and, of course, fur and lace, embroidery with beads and bugles, large brooches should be attributed to the first place in New Year's outfits.

On the New Year's holiday, we choose fabrics, the design of which is rich. Cutting can be the simplest if you opt for a fabric with a complex print or an abundance of decor. Do you know that artists borrow themes for drawings from all the cultural wealth accumulated by mankind over many centuries. On the fabrics you can see paintings by old masters, ancient European castles, flowers of Russian shawls, ornaments from Gzhel or Zhostovo, gold embroidery from Torzhok, Byzantine ornaments.

An excellent backdrop for a metallic sheen can be black, purple, red, green, blue. A gold or silver dress comes to the fore. Refined airy laces, fabrics shining with a metallic sheen of silver, gold and copper. Feel free to combine contrasting fabrics: chiffon with velvet, satin with lace. Fabrics can enhance the expressiveness of your outfit, help you create your own individual image and turn the New Year's holiday into a theater for you and your friends. After all, as Shakespeare said, “… the whole world is a theater, and the people in it are actors…”.
