Fashion trends never cease to amaze the world with their unpredictability, combination of retro styles and modern techniques. Forgotten, hidden “in the chest” of mother’s or grandmother’s things are again becoming relevant in our time. Among such outfits is a dress with a flounce - it has not lost popularity among fashionistas of all ages for several seasons. Thanks to the right cut and placement, the right combination of textures and silhouettes, flounces sparkled with bright colors and breathed new life into the once in-demand style.
Features of the models
The first clothes, decorated with all kinds of ruffles, bows, and drapery, appeared at the beginning of the 19th century. Dresses with frills became especially popular in the 1980s thanks to Princess Diana. It was she who, trusting in her impeccable and extraordinary taste, was able to attract the attention of fashionistas to this original decorative element. Since 2010, famous designers began to use frills again in their works, significantly modifying them and adapting them to modern trends.
The main feature of this decor is the transformation of the image, giving it romance and slight mystery. Even the simplest summer dress with frills seems festive and airy. Stylish frills add tenderness to strict office models, and cocktail options become especially impressive and playful. Evening looks embody sophistication, elegance, and extravagance.
When choosing a dress with a flounce at the bottom, it is important to understand that it can both correct your figure, hiding its flaws and emphasizing its advantages, and vice versa – ruin the entire silhouette. If you combine and think through the shape and location of the frills correctly, you can create a stylish and unique look. The only rule is that you should not overload it with this decor. Everything should be in moderation, otherwise the clothes will turn from a fashionable dress with frills into a tasteless pile of ruffles.

The current model for spacious products with frills is the long-sleeve maxi dress. If it is made of thin fabrics, it will be perfect for the summer: it will protect the skin from harmful solar radiation and preserve the body’s natural thermoregulation. Thicker options are convenient for demi-season, or even winter, socks under boots and a warm jacket.

Sheath dress
A less comfortable, but more elegant sheath dress can create a luxurious look reminiscent of the style of English ladies. The skirt in this dress is shaped like a year and reaches the ankle. The puffy ruffles of the maxi evoke a mermaid look and are ideal for special occasions. A dress can hinder your stride, so most often you go out in it only on special occasions. Based on the photo, you can select the model and degree of narrowing in advance.

Midi and short sleeves are preferable for the summer, for office work that does not involve much physical activity.
Short variations look playful and girlish. The dress is worn on dates or at a party. Remember that its excessive narrowness provokes sliding upward while walking. A wide strip of frill that can cover the hips saves you from this.
Asymmetrical
Asymmetry has gained popularity over the past few years. The frill along the hem of the dress is converted into a train, or is used with different lengths on one side. The style suits all body types. It distracts from body imbalances: it is the dress itself that becomes the focal point and center of attention.

Asymmetry is good for everyday wear. Dresses with a train look beautiful in combination with sneakers or ballet shoes and do not require additional large accessories to emphasize the style. The light dress is complemented with a denim jacket. Despite its casual orientation, the image is perfect for dates and even for some public events.
Types of shuttlecocks and options for their location
A flounce is a decorative element for blouses, skirts, and jackets, which is made of a strip of fabric with a wavy outer edge. The inner border of the frill is stitched to the product. The variety of shapes and sizes of such decor is a source of inspiration for clothing designers.
A dress with a flounce located:
- Above on the shoulders. Ruffles give the image lightness and splendor, emphasizing the sophistication of the neck and the beauty of the hands. A dress with a flounce on the shoulders is an excellent choice for both creating a festive look and for everyday use. There are several options for the location of the ruffles. The first is from above along the shoulder line, while the drapery covers the arms, acting as a cape or sleeves. The second option is that the frill is sewn along the upper edge of the dress, but is located under the arms (like a bustier dress), while the shoulders are completely exposed, or straps of different thicknesses are provided.
- Down on the hem. Ruffles decorate dresses of different lengths, adding romance and flirtatiousness to the look. A summer sundress, transformed with frills, becomes light and playful, emphasizing the beauty of the legs. An evening dress with a flounce at the hem always looks bright and festive. The main role in the creation of such models is played by the number and size of shuttlecocks, as well as the material from which they are made. Ruffles are located not only at the bottom, but throughout the entire skirt, creating unique compositions.
- In the waist area. This kind of shuttlecock is called a basque. It emphasizes the waist well and hides figure flaws in the hip area. A combination of satin and lace flounce or a bustier dress with a peplum at the waist and a similar frill at the top looks impressive in the form of an asymmetrical cut.
- On the chest. Neat ruffles that delicately frame the décolleté area are a great way to highlight a beautiful bust and visually enlarge it. A summer dress with a flounce on the chest highlights female sexuality, but not vulgar, but sensual and tender.
- On one shoulder. An original and effective model. A casual look in this style is memorable, stands out among others, and an evening outfit becomes elegant and unique. Draping can be done in different ways - in light waves along the perimeter of the upper edge, forming a flower, or in the form of a spiral, covering the shoulder line, décolleté, back, waist.
- On the one side. This decoration option is a game of asymmetry. If you place the accents correctly, you can create an extraordinary image with your own twist. You can combine drapery along one edge with flowers or bows made in the same style. But it is important to take into account one nuance - such an image can easily be weighed down with an overabundance of ruffles; it should be in harmony with the body type.
- On the sleeves. With the help of drapery in these places, an incredibly feminine and beautiful dress with flounces is created. The decorative element can be made in the form of bells or wings, of various lengths and volumes - it is always elegant and stylish.

Types of flounces used for modern decoration:
- Jabot. Thick ruffles in several layers, which are sewn on with a zigzag. Made from corrugated fabric. The neckline of a dress with a flounce is often finished in this way.
- Curly. The decorative elements are made of thick fabric and hold their shape well. With their help you can create amazing curls, waves, flowers. Such drapery is used to decorate evening and formal dresses, giving them gloss and chic.
- Cape wave. A voluminous frill located along the upper edge. The lower edge of the flounce can reach the waist line. Such drapery can perfectly play the role of a cape, covering the arms and chest, while highlighting the shoulder line.
- Multi-tiered shuttlecocks. Ruffles, located in numerous rows throughout the skirt, add solemnity and elegance to the image. A summer dress with frills on the skirt and a wedding dress look good. Flounces can be sewn in horizontal and vertical positions, as well as chaotically and asymmetrically, using different textures and creating incredible curls. In the same way, you can decorate a children's dress with a flounce made of tulle - you will get a lush and festive outfit.
- Bows. One of the forms of a figured shuttlecock. The frill is folded in layers in a specific way, resulting in a bow-like appearance. Costumes for special occasions are decorated with this decor.
Shuttlecocks are constructed in two ways - the donut or snail method. The first is to create a pattern in the form of a double circle, where the length of the inner circumference corresponds to the size of the shuttlecock, and the distance between the circles is comparable to it. The “snail” is designed in the shape of a spiral, where the length of the inner part is equal to the parameters of the shuttlecock itself. It is permissible to build a pattern without exceeding three turns. The degree of waviness of the frills is the ratio of the radius of the two circles. The smaller the inner one, the more wavy the ruffles will be.

Materials
Typically, a ruffled dress is made from flowing and lightweight materials. Linen, cotton, tulle, and silk are good for creating beautiful drapery on a summer dress. Canvases are often selected with variegated colors and can be combined with each other. Flowers, polka dots, stripes, small ornaments are excellent options for lightweight products.
Thicker fabrics (jacquard, flannel, corduroy, faux suede, jeans) are much more suitable for demi-season and winter wear. The material will not allow the frill to flow, but will give it a clear shape and will direct all attention to this detail. In addition, such a design does not require a non-standard cut or bright prints. A plain dress with a slight drapery at the bottom is an ideal suit for office work. It is better to give preference to dark or pastel shades, which will definitely not violate the dress code.

Who are they suitable for?
If you choose the right dresses with ruffles, you can not only create a beautiful look, but also correct your figure.
The main rule is that flounces add volume in the place where they are located.
Basic selection criteria depending on the type of figure:
- Triangle. A straight silhouette dress with drapery on the shoulders or sleeves will balance this figure. Thanks to this decor, the shoulders visually become wider. A good choice is a dress with straps with asymmetrical flounces that cover the arms.
- Inverted triangle. The best style for this body type is an a-line dress with flounces at the bottom or tiers along the skirt. Lush ruffles on the skirt add the necessary volume in the hip area. This arrangement of drapery will perfectly correct the figure, provided that the top is tight-fitting.
- Rectangle. With this body type, it is necessary to focus on the top (shoulders or sleeves) and hips. A peplum will do, it will emphasize the waist.
- Pear. In this case, you need to focus on the sleeves and bodice; you can use a flounce cape. It is worth choosing styles of dresses with a loose fit, midi length or floor-length.
- Apple. A long, wide dress with a flounce at the hem will suit this figure; the waist can be emphasized with a thin belt.
Almost all styles will suit slender, tall girls. For short, skinny women, it is not advisable to choose floor-length dresses with flounces at the bottom, so as not to appear even shorter. For obese women, straight, medium-length models with a flounce-cape or light frill at the hem are optimal. Symmetrical ruffles on both sides are suitable for thin girls with undefined waist and hips. To add volume to small breasts, drapery is used in the bodice area.

Flounces will take care of additional attractiveness of an already excellent figure
But shuttlecocks are a tricky thing. Of course, they will take care of additional attractiveness of an already excellent figure. But they are quite capable of making evil jokes, even emphasizing what you are trying to hide.
Here are some options:
- The flounce is single-layer, sewn on, the same fabric as the dress, not short. Suitable for a girl whose figure is proportional and whose chest is not massive. The flounce will only emphasize a large breast, and make a small one visually more noticeable.

How to sew a flounce to a dress
As already mentioned, there are two ways to pattern a shuttlecock - with a donut or a snail. In the first case, the waviness will be the same along the entire length, but more fabric will be needed. In the second, material waste is minimal, but the waviness is uneven. Each master decides for himself how it would be best for him to design this part.
The easiest way is to measure the required length of the shuttlecock. The resulting number must be divided by 6.26 - you get the radius of the inner circle. If you add the width of the frill to this value, you get the radius of the outer circle. If you need a longer length, you can make several such circles, and then connect the fabric and process its edges with a zigzag.
If the material is very thin, it is better to leave the edges raw.
The frill is sewn to the product with the inner edge. To begin with, it is applied on the wrong side to the front side of the dress, then stitched with a straight stitch at a distance of 0.5 cm from the edge. After this, the shuttlecock is straightened and ironed.
Dresses with flounces are the highlight of a wardrobe at any age; they are a unique model that can add notes of romance, tenderness, and incredible femininity to an image.
