Fashionable Blouses for Winter 2008/2009
Coquettish transparent blouses, shiny, glamorous tops, classic white shirts … it seems they can never be too many in woman’s wardrobe.
Complex draping
It seems that this season designers boycotted usual straight patterns – silhouettes of blouses are complicated with unpredictable, sophisticated structure. Unusual patterns of light blouses and tops are transformed through clever manipulation of the material, using a variety ways of draperies, original details in the form of capes, as well as all sorts of folds and recesses.
Basic colors: cool white, neutral gray-white, pale colors, dark blue and black, bright trendy colors.
Basic materials: satin, organza, silk, jersey and velvet.

Transparent blouses
Very thin, hardly perceptible materials presented blouses with aerial lightness and delicacy, and the dark laces add to the image a little bit of mystery. Despite the fact that on the catwalks were presented fairly explicit models, in shops and boutiques are mainly presented blouses with a solid or a contrast lining.
Basic colors: black, smoky gray, transparent, neutral shades.
Basic Materials: organza, silk, all kinds of lace, transparent materials with “wet effect”.

Finishing ruffles
It is surprising that in the pursuit of architectural linear forms and some roughness of the popular village Country style, this winter designers often use various frills. Gentle, multi-pleated ruffles, creating a kind of frill, finishing ruche – all these elements have become the main weapon against the one-dimensionality of standard tops. They have their investment in romance and charm of uncomplicated everyday forms.

Decorative Tops
Top is probably the most versatile type of clothing that can be changed forever. This season, tops are made of new materials with decorative sequins, beautiful transparent fabric with lace prints, “metallic” cloque and shiny jacquard fabric, or fine lace and light-through materials. Ornamental and brilliance of this line ensures the success of tops as a dress for Christmas and parties.

White shirts
And finally think a bit about white shirts, as they are not going to leave woman’s wardrobe. The new season sets new accents: the shoulders are in the form of bars and epaulettes or rectangular shape with gently curved lines.
