Replacing the form-fitting silhouette that has long been in demand in the fashion world, the loose cut of the trapezoid has moved away from the repetitions of the female body. Nevertheless, the image of a woman was not lost in the abundance of fabric and did not begin to resemble a veil, designed to hide the seductive curves of a female figure. Thanks to the image from Yves Saint Laurent, the dress only emphasized the extraordinary femininity and even some girlish helplessness of its owner, thereby giving free rein to the male imagination. The first, they are classic, models of a-line dresses, which appeared in 1957, were sleeveless outfits, with an A-line, without a hint of a waistline.

For overweight and pregnant women, the trapezoid will become an assistant, hiding the volume of the figure. Depending on where the expansion of the dress begins, different tasks of draping problem areas are solved. If the trapeze starts from the armhole, almost near the shoulders, then the dress will help hide the waist or a rounded tummy. If the expansion starts from the waist, then you can divert attention from the overly wide hips.
You can complement an elegant outfit with a thin turtleneck, dressed under a dress, or an elegant jacket, which will fit perfectly into the office style.
A variety of prints and bright fabrics will not need additional decorations, as they are good on their own. But if you add them with bright accessories, then a memorable image of the hostess will be provided.
