Holiday dresses with feathers on the skirt and shoulders

At the time of the Great Gatsby, ladies in feathers gathered in each drawing room and fluttered flirtatiously on the head or shoulders of fashionistas. Feathers were everywhere - on the skirt, on the shoulders, and on the accessories, but wherever they were, it always added to the image of seductiveness and charm. If you are thinking about how to surprise your friends at New Year's Eve, or how to become an ornament to the evening, then a dress with feathers is exactly the option that will delight others, and you will have to hear many compliments.

Today, famous brands have already turned their attention to feathers as decorative elements that can replace natural fur. After all, feathers can be not only natural, but also synthetic, which can even be washed, and it is easy to paint exotic plumage. Dresses trimmed with feathers, weightless capes thrown over the shoulders of fashionistas, bags with feathers, hair ornaments ...

You can start the history of costumes with feathers from the birth of the first person on Earth. But usually decor with feathers is associated with the Indians, and Europeans in the era of geographical discoveries supported this idea. It is difficult to imagine dresses noble and rich without luxurious decorative elements.

Feathers liked to decorate themselves with everything, from kings and nobles, to the soldiers of the king. Almost all military uniforms of different countries were present feathers. Do not you feel like an eagle, if your decoration will be the feathers of an eagle? Peacock, flamingo, pheasant, heron and, of course, ostrich loved feathers.

In many suits, hats were decorated with feathers. For example, in the 19th century, feather decor in hats reached its peak. And in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th, without a huge feather boa or even a dress fully decorated with feathers, it was impossible to imagine any cabaret actress, and subsequently a silent movie.

What feathers decorate dresses in our time

In tailoring, feathers of exotic birds and ostrich plumage are used, as well as synthetic elements. Given the upcoming New Year's holiday, you can afford the most luxurious feathers, such as recommending to us Armani Prive or Celia Kritharioti, Christian Dior or Carolina Herrera, because the New Year's evening implies something amazing and mysterious, mysterious and fabulously wonderful. Your outfit in feathers can be the best fancy dress.

The feathers themselves are spectacular. Sometimes, apart from feathers, no additions are necessary, but if you are not going to the carnival, you should seriously think about the decoration of the costume with feathers. It all depends on where you are going, for what celebration. The coloring of feathers and their combination with the main material are no less significant.

Long dresses, as if descended from the artist's canvas, shimmer with sequins and give you bright emotions and impressions.

Your evening dress, especially on New Year's Eve, when the triumph ends well past midnight, should not cause you any concern. And if you are in an environment where activity is required, perhaps a long dress will not be the best option. Short models with feathers, which are offered by designers, will successfully replace dresses in the floor.

You should not dwell only on long and short models, there are also feather midi dresses.

There are dresses in which feathers are just a print, or embroidery. These models will suit girls who still doubt the choice of real feathers, but for all that, you can create beautiful images with imitation.

A discreet dress with a little feathers can be added to the casual wardrobe. However, in the New Year everyone wants to create a fabulous image. We know that sometimes our dreams come true, but for someone else, but on the New Year, we still dream and believe in a fairy tale. Only a fairy tale to make come true depends on us, and for this we need to make an effort. Perhaps this will help you incredible beauty of the dress.
