Dress in a linen style is a real fashion trend of the summer season. Going beyond the bedroom, today this dress can be found in the office, on the street, at an evening event and even in a sporty manner.
So, it's time to make such a dress for yourself, and there may be more than one!
If a dress in a linen style could be compared with a woman, then it would be worthy of the following epithets - sexy, a little daring and complicated. It is not surprising that from the time of her first appearance on the catwalk in 1993, a dress in a linen style is still relevant today.
It resembles a nightdress in which you feel comfortable and relaxed. This is probably the factor that explains the reason for the mega-popularity of dresses in the linen style.

Of course, silk is the most ideal fabric for a dress in a linen style. He is just made for him. Silk is well flowing, pleasant to the body and very comfortable to wear. Products from it always look luxurious and expensive.
How to determine real silk or fake?
Lined chiffon gives air dresses-sundresses with a playful note and a romantic mood.
Printed satin silk - light flowing summer dresses-sundresses. From monochromatic silk - daring, sexy and bold images.
Crepe and matte silks are best suited for evening and festive looks, as well as for holiday wardrobe.

If your sewing experience requires additional skills, it is better to focus on a traditional cut. In this case, the dress in the linen style will not lose in any way either in grace or in the beauty of the finished product.
Confident needlewomen can safely try the cut along the oblique, which gives an incredible fit on the figure, emphasizing every curve of the female body.

The image in the linen style can be emphasized with details that enhance the effect: decorate the dress in classic black silk with exquisite lace trim.
Modern interpretations benefit from unusualness, for example, a dress with a patchwork effect. Or an opaque hint of hippie style in a red model with an asymmetric extended hem.
The main thing is to remember that stylization is very important for the image in the linen style, the impression is absolutely unacceptable: "I just got up, there is no time for appearance."
For an evening out, a dress in a linen style requires, first of all, elegance in the image. Open high-heeled shoes and traditional evening jewelry will do the job perfectly.
For a street style, a blouse-shirt or a simple T-shirt worn under a dress is perfect, this will give it a touch of negligence. If you prefer a sporty look, wear sneakers.
