TyronneVintage Clothing Jumper Dress Style
December 19th 2011 08:28
Most people have heard the expression woolly jumpers. And we can all identify a dress. But to people detached from fashion or clothing, the idea of a wool dress – alternatively referred to as a jumper dress – might seem like something from a previous era. Stylish women have always thought differently, and the jumper dress can be categorised as one of those things that ought to look odd but doesn't, like turkey and cranberry.
Jumper dresses can be worn in different ways but not every outfit or situation looks right or correct – there still needs to be a little thought put in. But knitted dresses worn in the right way manage to be pleasing to the senses in ways that it's difficult to pin down. The natural flexibility of wool (perhaps with a little knitted-in enhancement) is the starting point for the success. A knitted dress is likely to hug the body form more closely than any tailored cotton number could be, if figure-hugging is the design. But acting cautiously, a looser fit can also be worn and not look to shabby.
Knitted dresses work in a very unique way, avoiding the need for add-on designs, they can be knitted into the fabric of the dress, whether it's a two-dimensional coloured affect or something that uses relief and texture to create an effect as in many knitted jumpers that feature rope-like designs. It creates authentic, designed features that really bring out the curvaceous lines of a well fitted dress. Another plus for the fashion lover is that they don't need much looking after, and will look just as good in the taxi home as they did when dressing to go out.
If you must explore the good, the bad and the ugly in the realm of jumper dresses, visit your local vintage clothing store and prepare to have your preconceptions shattered – whatever they were. Among the self-knitted and the plain gaudy, you'll find many examples of design perfection. You'll find the softest wools made with the love and affection belonging to such a sensual item of clothing. Get out there, see how one looks on you. If you're not convinced at the moment you'll quickly see what all the fuss is about as you slide into the most comfortable, flattering and easy to wear dress you may have ever owned.
While the knitted dress has certainly had its ups and downs, fashion-wise, they are hot property these days, an unlikely star of fashion shows and the international fashion scene Don't expect a minimalist, revealing style – no knitted dress could possibly sustain the structural needs of the slim-strapped evening dress or the overtly revealing looks. But as plenty of women have discovered, the gently persuasive elasticity can attract far more flash bulbs when worn well and if you have the figure to show off the dress to its best, you can't fail to wear it well because it finds its own shape the moment it's pulled on.
So sadly for the fashionistas, your secret is out, and it's time we all started to reap the benefits of at least one special jumper dress. Don't think of this as a frumpy pullover trying to be something it's not – it's a player in its own right and needs to be a component of every ladies clothing collection.
