  • Viscose. Often in mixed materials.

Do not rub, twist, pull!

Drying in a horizontal position on a cloth substrate or on a coat hanger.

Iron through the iron, silk mode.

Advice! Products made from natural silk chiffon are better to be dry cleaned; it is extremely difficult to independently organize difficult care conditions.

Types of sleeves

Sleeves largely determine the type of blouse, its style. 2019 did not bring us bans on any type of sleeve, from its complete absence, to ultra-long and flared. The main trends are:

The sleeve is absent, the armhole is simply well designed, which, in turn, can be traditional or American.

Very short sleeves - wings . Do not stitch along the seam. Do not burden the image, but cover the shoulders. Perhaps the wing, composed of two parts, not stitched together, but only fixed at the shoulder seam.

Sleeve is a flashlight . Often found on business office blouses. The fabric is seated at the waist, and a cuff or frill is sewn along the edge of the sleeve.

Three quarter sleeve. A romantic version with frills, or strict on a stitched cuff. In the simplest case, the lower edge of the sleeve simply tucks up.

Long sleeve cuff.

Long sleeve with inserts or with slits . As a rule, it is found in the style of ethno, boho or casual.

Smart models

There are both single-layer blouses and multilayer models. Layering is achieved either by duplicating a translucent chiffon with a dense cover, or by several layers of the main fabric.

Advice! Stately women wearing chiffon is not forbidden at all. On the contrary, the ability of the latter to perfectly drape will help mask the folds or overly rounded areas.

Smart models of blouses often imply a rich finish, most often used:

Lace. It is selected exactly to the tone of the main material or, on the contrary, contrast.

Edging and trimming. Thus, the contrast of textures is played out - matte chiffon and shiny satin trim.

Metal and wooden fittings.

Let's analyze the features of the cut of elegant chiffon blouses. If complex decoration does not suit you, then blouses that are quite complex in cut for you.

Neck Processing:

Shawl collar, stance, upright - turn-down, turn-down collars.

Often a stand-up collar or a turn-down collar is lengthened, forming bow ties.

Advice! The bow looks interesting if it is combined with a fairly deep neckline.

Finishing frills, frills on the neck. Sometimes the upper part is collected on a lace, forming a drawstring. Especially often found in the fashionable style of "young lady-peasant."

Lace inserts on the neck.

Complex asymmetric necklines . Open shoulders, one or both.

Processing shelves, fasteners.

The appearance of the shelf depends on the cut, as well as on how carefully the fastener is made. When choosing a blouse in a store, pay attention to this.

Basic modeling techniques

Asymmetric cut left and right shelves, blouses with a smell. In this case, the clasp is not always, it is replaced with ties.

Clasps are straps, often with ruffles on the sides.

Trim on the bottom of the basque blouse.

Reference! Peplum is a fairly wide frill along the bottom edge of a blouse, shirt. Focuses on the waist, hides wide hips.

To balance the flying translucent chiffon, in a pair it should pick up dense fabrics with a clear geometry that perfectly keep their shape.

With denim, we create the image of a young lady who does not follow any rules.

With satin, satin, dense silk, sophisticated secular images.

Thin skirts made of fine leather are also perfect for both “exit” images and office everyday life.

Gabardine, tweed, drape, viscose, dense polyester fabrics balance delicate chiffon and give the image calm.

Important! All kinds of vests, jackets, which are customary to complement ensembles with blouses, should be separately noted . We choose either classic strict fitted models, or, conversely, voluminous and soft.
