Dress is a garment traditionally worn by women or girls consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice. It consists of a top piece that covers the torso and hangs down over the legs. A dress can be any one-piece garment containing a skirt of any length, and can be formal or casual.
A dress can have sleeves, straps, or be strapless. Dresses also vary in color and pattern from simple, solid colors to complex, detailed patterns.
History[edit]
The dress is one of the oldest forms of human clothing and has been worn by women and girls throughout history. The style and design of dresses have changed and evolved over the centuries, from the simple tunics of ancient times to the elaborate gowns of the Victorian era. Today, there are thousands of different styles of dresses, from casual sundresses to formal evening gowns.
Types of Dresses[edit]
There are many different types of dresses, including:
- Evening gown: A long flowing dress usually worn to formal occasions.
- Cocktail dress: A dress that is shorter than a full-length gown, often worn to semi-formal events.
- Sundress: A dress intended to be worn in warm weather, typically it is loose-fitting and has a wide neckline and thin, shoulder straps.
- Maxi dress: A floor or ankle length informal dress.
- Wrap dress: A dress with a front closure formed by wrapping one side across the other and knotting the attached ties that wrap around the back at the waist or fastening buttons.
Dress Construction[edit]
The construction of a dress can be complex and involves many different steps. The basic process includes designing the dress, selecting the fabric and other materials, cutting out the pattern pieces, sewing them together, and adding any final details.
