The key to volume in your flamenco dress: the petticoat
If there is one essential element to achieve the perfect volume in a flamenco dress, it is the petticoat.
Although it often goes unnoticed, its function is fundamental to give body and movement to the ruffles, ensuring that the dress looks with the structure and elegance that characterizes flamenco fashion.
Why is the petticoat so important?
The petticoat is the base on which the volume of the dress rests.
Without it, the ruffles would lose their shape and fall limply.
Its objective is to lift the skirt, providing width and enhancing each movement with grace and dynamism.
What fabrics are used in petticoats?
To achieve the desired effect, materials with body and structure are used, such as:
- Organic: Lightweight but firm, ideal for balanced volume.
- Cancan: Provides a more dramatic and structured effect, ideal for runway or dance costumes.
- Rigid tulle: Provides volume without adding too much weight to the dress.
Designing and making a petticoat
Not all petticoats are the same. Depending on the desired effect, they can be made with several layers of fabric to enhance the flow, using different lengths and types of material.
It's also important that the petticoat is comfortable and doesn't weigh you down, allowing for freedom of movement.
The secret to a flamenco dress with perfect volume is not only in the ruffles or the outer fabrics, but in what is not seen: a good petticoat. If you want your costume to look spectacular at the fair or the pilgrimage, make sure you choose quality materials and proper tailoring.
