Why Are Flounce Dresses So Popular?

One of the most important reasons is probably the influence of films and TV shows. As we all know, films and TV shows always have a huge impact on the public's aesthetic taste and the current fashion trends. As the heroines in the movies wear beautiful flounce dresses, more and more girls start to pay attention to them.

The second reason might be the rise of retro trend. The history of using the flounce to decorate clothes dates back to the 16th century. In the Victorian era, when gorgeousness of clothes were pursued, decorations such as the flounce and tassels often appeared on the gorgeous dresses of women. But plenty of the decorations disappeared in the last century. After decades of popularity of more neutral clothing, the flounce is now back to life in the retro trend.

In the third place, the flounce modifies girls' figures to a large extent. For girls of "pear shape" figure, a dress with a flounce on the top will visually add volume to your upper body and make your proportions look more balanced. In addition, the flounce can also highlight the line of your figure, making your whole outfit more charming.

Whether it is a long dress or a short skirt, the flounce can make it more vivid and nifty. Therefore, we have many choices among different types of flounce dresses. Those flounce dresses may also help improve your feminine charm.

Finally, flounce dresses are versatile on a number of occasions. On many casual clothes, we can see flounce. On the other hand, flounce is also appropriate for the decorations of suits  on formal occasions.

So this summer, as flounce dresses are back to the fashion experts’ sights, why not choose a suitable one for yourself? Whether you're going shopping or commuting, you will be pretty in the flounce dresses!

How to Choose the Right Flounce Dresses?

The flounce can be added to either the top or the bottom part of the dress. Sometimes we can find it on the collar, while in other cases it may appear on the cuff. Moreover, the flounce dresses can be long or short, and can also be made of different materials. So how can we choose the right flounce dresses?

💖For ladies seeking for a hot look or with long legs, mini flounce dresses are good choices. The mini flounce dresses can fully show your beautiful line of legs  and add a bit of niftiness to your outfit.

💖For more casual occasions, you may choose the flounce dresses in bright colors and with audacious patterns. But on business occasions or some even more formal occasions, flounce dresses in classic colors such as black and white are much more suitable, and dresses in solid colors are fine. As we all know, different clothing colors will also give others different impressions. For example, the color white often makes you look tender and patient.

💖As for the materials, in summer, fabrics that make people feel cool, such as chiffon and silk , may be better choices. In the winter, you can choose flounce dresses made of fabrics such as cotton and linen.

💖As mentioned above, it would be better to choose dresses with flounce on the top for girls of “pear shape” figure. But if you belong to the inverted triangle shape figure, then the flounce should be added to the bottom hem of your dress. In this way, the slim parts of your figure will gain more volume visually, and your overall figure will appear more proportional.

💖Today, the flounce is also used in the design of plenty of evening dresses or wedding dresses. On occasions where evening dresses are needed or your wedding ceremony, a flounce dress makes you look like a flower which is really eye-catching. But in daily life, a flounce dress of middle length that reaches knees is enough.

💖If you want to pursue a more personalized look, you can choose a slip dress with flounce. An off the shoulder flounce dress may also make you look pretty and delicate.

How to Accessorize Flounce Dresses?

Flounce dresses themselves are already well-designed, so we do not need to accessorize them with bright jewelry. Otherwise, your entire outfit will become dazzling. When wearing flounce dresses, the principle of accessorizing is "simple but delicate".

💖It is better to choose accessories with a similar color to dresses, regardless of handbags, jewelry, hats or shoes. Since flounce dresses are not that suitable for creating a sense of contrast, accessories that are too different in color from the dress are likely to destroy the sweetness of the dress itself.

💖Since the flounce dresses are mainly delicate, a pair of slippers or sneakers are not compatible with them although they are comfortable. Compared to them, a pair of high heels or leather shoes are probably more appropriate.

💖Try to pair your dress with a belt, especially for those dresses without a clear waistline. A belt can help you highlight your waistline, showing your perfect figure. If your flounce is already printed or colorful, then it is better to choose a simple belt.

💖As mentioned above, the flounce dress emphasizes on the elegance or sweetness of women, so accessories in sports style are not very compatible with it. Compared to a peaked cap, a delicate straw hat with a wide brim may be more suitable. On casual occasions, a bucket hat can also be paired with a flounce dress to create a cozy atmosphere. In winter, a beautiful beret is also a good choice.

💖A black or white handbag with a thin chain goes well with flounce dresses. To meet commuting needs, you can also choose a large capacity tote bag.

💖In winter, you can pair your flounce dress with a shawl. But you need to pay attention that first of all, the color and pattern of the shawl cannot be too fancy. Secondly, when wearing your shawl, it is better to choose a dress with flounce at the bottom hem. Otherwise, if the flounce is on the upper part of the dress, then together with the shawl, your upper body seems overloaded.
