LONG DRESSES

A garment that is traditionally worn by girls or women consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice is called as a dress. This bodice can be the same as the skirt or matching in order to give the effect of a one-piece long garment. When the length of the dress is below the knees almost up to the ankles, it is called a long dress. Sometimes, the length can go even beyond the ankles and can even have a trail in case of many formal dresses or bridal gowns. These gowns are made up of a various types of fabrics such as cotton, silk, satin, organza, velvet, etc. It depends on whether the occasion is formal, casual, weddings, or vacations that the fabric is used. For instance, cotton is usually used for summer-long dresses or gowns as it comfortable and moisture-absorbent. Many times, the word “maxi” is used to describe long dresses.

In crowded weddings and functions, people usually stamp on the hemline of your dress and it gets dirty. One has to take care of the entire long trail which can be very uncomfortable.
  • Snob Queen: A long dress does make you look unique and just like a Goddess. However, you might give out a snobbish and of a high attitude feeling which can make you seem unapproachable to the people around. People might feel awkward to go and talk to you. A girl in a short dress seems more amicable and friendly. This might cause you to not make many friends in a given event.
  • Difficult to carry: Long dresses are actually a tiresome to carry for long travels as it takes a lot of space in the suitcase. Many times two long heavy dresses can fill up an entire suitcase without any extra space left for anything else. They are on the heavier side, and maintaining them is a task because it must be dealt with very carefully. For destination weddings as well, it must be very hard to take and you might end up carrying many number of suitcases.

CONS OF WEARING A SHORT DRESS: A wonderful short dress can make you look so pretty but at the same time it can make many ancient people feel uncomfortable and not so happy with your choice. There are many as such disadvantages of wearing a short dress as given below:

  • Offends the Elders: In many religions and cultures, wearing a short dress is not perceived well among the people. They do not find it very appealing and are not happy with the dress length especially for the bride. As compared to long dresses, short dresses do not go down very well with the society. However, the women who are secure with themselves are confident enough to wear whatever they like and wish to wear. It should be your own decision and nobody else’s views that should decide what you wear on your wedding day or any other day. One has the freedom of choice to wear whatever they like on any particular day and especially at their own wedding.
  • Less variety for brides in short dresses: If a wedding dress or any other dress or outfit is too short in length, it becomes uncomfortable to sit or stand. It might cause a problem bending down or even picking up things from the floor. But the trends are changing now and many more women are coming up and demanding short dresses for their D-day. However, there are mostly few options for short dresses for brides as to the common norm of long ones. The long dresses are available in large variety and designs in every store as compared to the short dresses.

Too short for Comfort: If a wedding dress or any other short dress is too less in the length, it is very uncomfortable to sit down and stand up. It might cause very much problem of bowing down or picking up something from the floor. A little here and there and you might reveal more than what you want. That is why; some relatives or parents may be offended and might find the dress length very inappropriate
