Shirt Dresses: Everything You Need To Know and More

  • Shirt dresses are so in trend right now. There is hardly any person who is not in love with them. If you are not one of those people, we are going to make sure you fall in love with them. Because, well, why not!

    Shirt dresses are basically just shirts that are long enough to be dresses, to be worn without any bottoms. As time passed and people started to notice these, companies started making dresses that looked like shirts. There’s a difference. Let me show you.

    This is a proper shirt dress with a waist belt, but if you’re looking for something that is more of a dress than a shirt then you need to scroll down.

    This has flare and the perfect fitting. While the former can be worn even with bottoms, this might look a little out of place.

    How did the story begin?

    Shirt dresses have a long history, from the days of World War II in the 1950s.

    Shirt dresses were first brought into the world of fashion by the famous Christian Dior, as a part of their ‘New Look’ couture designs. Here is something vintage.

    Dior knew it all too well how to make women rule in a man dominant world. The shirt dresses were derived from men’s wear and said it out loud that there’s nothing that a woman can’t do. She can even look great in his clothing!

    Doing it yourself is the best way of doing anything. To make your own shirt dress, all you have to do is buy an over sized shirt (preferably from the men’s section). Then, pair a belt with it, or tie a ribbon around your waist for some action. You can even alter the dress if you need to, according to your needs. It’s all up to you. This is your dress after all!

    Now, go and rock this new look!
