Side slit dress


The slits on the dress always help to focus on a certain part of the body. They attract attention and bring a certain charm to the image. A slit on the side from the hip or slightly lower emphasizes long, slender legs and sometimes looks more impressive than a revealing miniskirt.

For an elegant evening dress, a high slit and an open look are appropriate. Most of the famous and famous "stars of different sizes" at special occasions prefer a floor-length dress with a high slit that exposes the leg from the hip.

The length of the dress is of great importance, especially if a slit is provided on the side of the product. A floor-length dress will look good with a high slit. But keep in mind, for such a style you need to be not only tall and, but also self-confident. As shoes, there is a place for high-heeled shoes.

Among the wide variety of women's outfits, a dress with a slit stands out especially. Although this product can be done in soothing colors and not have bright decorative elements, the cut always makes it incredibly sophisticated and seductive.

Fashion dress with a slit

As a rule, any dress with a high slit is intended for going out and special occasions. Meanwhile, far from always this detail looks deliberately sexy. On the contrary, it can even be present on everyday items of women's wardrobe and only add charm to the image of its owner, but not make it vulgar.

The most common option, which is almost always appropriate, is a midi dress with a slit to the knee. This product can even be worn to work in the office, since it does not contradict the generally accepted dress code. Thanks to the presence of a seductive detail, such a garment emphasizes feminine beauty and grace, and, in addition, provides freedom of action.


Short dress with slit


Floor-length dresses with an open back (evening looks especially elegant) are worn by stars if they want to attract the attention of the paparazzi. The cutout on the back was appreciated at the beginning of the last century, because such a style makes any girl stand out from the crowd.

Benefits of an open back dress

The cutout on the back reveals even more than the plunging neckline does. It not only emphasizes the figure of a woman and the curves of her body, but can also excite the imagination with the right style.

Features of socks

Such dresses require special preparation of the skin. Grooming activities should begin a few weeks before going out in a revealing outfit.

A light layer of auto-tanning will especially emphasize the muscle relief, and shimmering powder will add seductiveness. A floor-length dress with an open back is unthinkable without a properly set posture. The stoop in this outfit will look unnatural, so the shoulders need to be pulled back a little, and the head should be raised.

What colors are popular

The choice of dress color depends on factors such as:

  • time of the event (morning, evening, night);
  • venue of the event (cafe, restaurant, ball in the company);
  • individual characteristics of a woman (hair color, skin tone).

The black

Considered the most versatile color. It is suitable for official meetings and holidays, as well as for weekdays. This color is considered classic, i.e. absolutely any jewelry will suit it, but gold items will look most impressive.

Bright shades of red

Such dresses are especially popular in the summer season. A standard black dress loses in the heat, as it gets very hot from the sun, but as shoes, black will be the best addition to a red dress.

When choosing a red dress, you need to know that red is considered the color of seductresses.

Turquoise

Shades of this color give a woman freshness and make the figure visually more slender, so they are relevant throughout the year. Turquoise goes well with jewelry made of silver or medical steel, as well as light-colored shoes.

Blue

Dresses on the floor (evening and especially made of silk) in blue look aristocratic. They look best on tall girls. Complement this dress with white or golden shoes.

Gold

The golden color is associated with nobility and wealth, so an elegant gold-colored dress is useful for creating a strict but gentle look. Shoes in black or white are suitable for him.

Cheap jewelry is highly undesirable: they will contrast unpleasantly with the color of the dress. For brunettes, a dark or rich shade of gold is preferable, while for owners of blond hair, it is better to choose a dress of a delicate color.

Green

Refreshing green color subconsciously inspires confidence in others. He doesn’t even need accessories, as a green dress already creates a complete look. Dark hair goes well with light tones of the dress, and if the skin is dark, then the color of the sea wave will be the best solution.

For women and girls with blond hair, you can recommend a dark rich green color that will shade the hair. On fair-skinned women, emerald-colored dresses look more advantageous.

Who suits

Beautiful long dresses of this kind are not suitable for all the fair sex.

Acne and bumps on the back, despite the measures taken, can still remain. This does not allow you to look beautiful in a dress with a cutout on the back. In extreme cases, you can gently cover the skin on the back with foundation, but this will be noticeable when viewed from a close distance.

Before buying and trying on a dress, you should make sure that there is no hair on the back. You can ignore a small light fluff, but dark hair is not at all what you want to demonstrate in society. You can remove hair in one way or another (except for a razor).

Excess weight can also be a stumbling block. With an open back, fat folds on the body will become visible, and during turns, skin folds will form. A good stylist will be able to choose a model in which these flaws will not be noticeable, but you need to immediately tune in to the fact that the cutouts will be minimal.

Especially dresses with a cutout on the back to the floor are suitable for tall girls. The rest is recommended to choose a shorter evening dress in combination with high-heeled shoes.

In addition to the above, such a dress requires an individually selected bra. The choice of underwear will be discussed in more detail below in the article.

Back design options

Dresses are distinguished not so much by such characteristics as color and length, as by the shape of the neckline. It is he who focuses attention on certain areas of the back, so cutouts are often made to order.


What fabrics and textures are used

The choice of fabric largely depends on the event for which the dress is matched. So, noisy holidays require elegant fabrics: for birthdays, parties, discos, proms, it is recommended to wear dresses made of bright velvet or guipure.

For everyday outfits, cheaper and more durable materials are suitable. Since the dress is mainly summer clothing, the fabric should let air through and not attract the sun's rays.

For important solemn events, it is necessary to choose a dress from aristocratic materials - satin and silk. They look rich.

More dense materials will adhere to the body, and light fabrics will flow and scatter, creating an aura of femininity and magic.

Dresses with lace - the illusion of an open back

If a girl is not so relaxed as to open her back completely, lace comes to the rescue. They frame the neckline in such a way that most of the back is covered with a weightless fabric.

Lace emphasizes the femininity of the image, so everything in the wardrobe should match this: a light layer of makeup, a simple but elegant hairstyle, and the delicate color of the shoes.


Floor-length dresses with lace create the illusion of an open back. Such dresses will hide the flaws that are located on the back.

Dresses to the floor (photo can be seen below) with lace on the back can be with:

  • semi-open cut. The lace pattern intertwines for a modest look.
  • translucent lace back. This dress is perfect for weddings or proms. Guipure opens the back just enough to make the image mysterious, but seductive.

Style options

Designers and stylists can offer a huge selection of styles of dresses with an open back: long, short, puffy, tight-fitting outfits. They can be decorated with waist ribbons, lace, lacing. The fabric in the form of stripes on some models intersects at the back, creating an amazing pattern.


Floor-length evening dresses, photos of which are provided below, surprise and make you admire the imagination of their creators.

Long evening dress with long sleeves

Long floor-length evening dresses with long sleeves and an open back are able to cover figure flaws, emphasize dignity and focus on the right parts of the body. They balance on the verge of puritanism and permissiveness.

  • For girls with thin, graceful shoulders and pumped up muscles, sleeves made of transparent, tight-fitting fabric are suitable.
  • Girls with puffed up shoulders, if you want to visually make them more feminine, should choose a dress with a wide skirt and a high waist with lace. So the arms will look smaller, and the waist and hips will “pull” attention away from the broad shoulders.
  • Pleats on the dress and sleeves will relieve the figure of "rectangularity" and create the illusion of curves.

Evening dress on the floor with a slit on the leg

A floor-length dress with an open back already sufficiently emphasizes the dignity of a female figure, but if it is complemented by cuts on the leg, this speaks of the courage and confidence of the girl. Shy, modest girls should not choose such dresses, as they will not add self-confidence, rather the opposite.

Cuts make any outfit unique, and are suitable for girls with any body constitution.

Full girls can choose dresses with a large number of cuts, and for thin and short girls, dresses with one miniature cut are preferable. If the choice fell on a cut on the leg, then it would be more correct to refuse a strongly open back and neckline, because "the best is the enemy of the good."

If you choose a dress with a slit, you need to pay enough attention to the choice of stockings and tights. They should be the most natural shade and fit in size (so that wrinkles do not form). Elastic bands should not be visible on stockings.

If the image is complemented by a bag, then it must be small. The best option would be wallets, clutches and purses.

The cut can be of the following types:

  • On the sides- Opens hips and knees. The option is considered suitable for the younger generation;
  • asymmetric. This cut opens almost all legs, and is suitable for owners of a model appearance.
  • between the thighs. This cut will visually divide the dress into two parts. The inner sides of the thigh will be visible. Most of all, this dress is suitable for curvy women.

How to choose a dress

Dresses are selected depending on hair color, skin tone, height and weight. The choice of color has already been discussed in the article, but now we will talk about the figure of a girl.

Despite the fact that the dress is chosen based on the preferences of the customer, a few rules should still be considered:

What hairstyle to choose

The first thing you pay attention to when creating an image for a dress is a hairstyle.

Long hair will attract the attention of others, so it is better to collect it and fix it higher on the head or let it fall over the shoulders over the chest. Hair above the shoulder blades, on the contrary, blends harmoniously with dresses with a cutout on the back. A few long curls can be left hanging down the back so that they slightly block the view.

The following hairstyles will be a good solution:


If desired, ribbons and beads can be woven into the braid to match the dress. Ribbons can smoothly descend to the middle of the back, slightly covering the skin.

What accessories are suitable

Designers do not stop experimenting with decorations for dresses. But you need to know that a large number of accessories can easily spoil the impression of the dress. Accessories should only emphasize the neckline, but not draw attention to themselves. A pair of earrings and discreet beads will be the perfect complement to the dress. Scarves and trains should be discarded.

You can choose accessories like this:


Bra for an evening dress with an open back

The most beautiful backless evening gowns won't create a good impression if the underwear is visible. There are several solutions to problems, and they are all equally good.

First you need to decide whether it is possible to do without a bra. Girls with small elastic breasts can afford not to wear this piece of clothing if their dress is made of dense opaque fabric.

  1. Bra with a silicone basis. The size regulator is located between the cups, as the strap on the back is made with one stripe of nude or transparent colors. It should not stretch the skin, as in this case there will be unwanted folds on the back. Such a bra will be invisible only from a distance; close by, silicone will still be visible, so stylists advise choosing similar underwear for dresses with fine mesh inserts. With careless care, silicone will soon acquire a yellowish tint. It must be periodically cleaned, not stretched and stored in a dry place.
  2. Invisible bra. This bra has no straps at all. Two cups are interconnected by a clasp that acts as a latch. On the inside of the bra there is an adhesive base that allows the cups to be attached to the chest. Because of this, the chest visually becomes a little smaller, but it is impossible to notice such a bra even under a thin dress. Of the minuses, it can be distinguished that in warm weather the chest will sweat profusely, since the silicone does not allow air to pass through, and the bra will also not last long. As practice shows, silicone will begin to fall off in less than 6 hours. It is necessary to store a silicone bra very carefully: keep it in a special stand and cover it with a protective film. Also, it should be washed regularly with warm water. This will help to avoid drying out, losing shape and getting dirt on the silicone surface.
  3. Nipple stickers. Not suitable for sagging breasts, but there are models that will fix the chest. Stickers will help to keep natural, but will create the illusion of underwear. They are almost not felt on the skin, but can peel off if they are not applied correctly.
  4. Bra with embellishments on the shoulder straps. Such a bra will look like part of a dress, but for this you will have to take into account many factors. First, the color of the straps should match the color of the dress. Secondly, the dress and bra must be made of similar materials. Thirdly, there should be just enough decorativeness to make such a set look natural. For example, straps can be decorated with beads, lace, ribbons, chains or feathers.
  5. Transformer bra. In it, long straps can fall almost to the waist. For shallow cuts, this is a great solution. The only downside is the relatively high price.
  6. Bra without back. It looks like a backpack, which is put on with the bag forward. Cups are attached to the straps, but they pass under the arms like straps. They will not be visible through the dress, but such a bra is no different from ordinary bras. You can make it yourself, although in rare stores there is also a finished product.

The most practical option are dresses that already have built-in bra cups. They become noticeable only when touched due to the denser texture relative to the rest of the dress. Of the minuses, the most unpleasant is the fact that when tilted, the chest can “fall out” of the bra.

The dress emphasizes the femininity and elegance of the girl, and the floor-length dress with an open back, evening or casual, reveals her character and appearance in a new way both for others and for herself.
