Types of Flamenco dress and frills

You find yourself visiting stores of flamenco outfits in Seville to look spectacular at the next religious pilgrimage or festival such as Romería or Feria. However, you are not sure about what kind of dress to choose. In this case, you need to know that there are basically two types of flamenco outfits.

• One-piece flamenco dress. As this name indicates, this type of flamenco dress includes the well-known canasteros frills, a very classic and feminine version.

• The blouse or bodice with skirt.  We can define it as a “two pieces”, which features modern flamenco fashion and matched with flamenco accessories. This type of flamenco dress is also designed with frills sewed in lines layered one above the other. The result: a flexible outfit thanks to all the layers that are combined. Nevertheless, you can also opt for a flamenco outfit with specially-sewed frills.

Tipos de trajes de flamenca y volantes

Te encuentras consultando tiendas de trajes de gitana en Sevilla porque en la próxima romería o feria quieres ir espectacular. No obstante, no sabes muy bien qué tipo de vestido escoger. En ese caso, debes saber que fundamentalmente hay dos clases de modelos:

• Traje enterizo. Una única pieza, como su nombre indica, es este vestido que suele presentarse con los conocidos como volantes canasteros, que son clásicos y que ayudan a darle feminidad a aquel.

• Traje de cuerpo y falda. Un “dos piezas” podemos decir que es este, que la moda flamenca y de complementos establece, por regla general, que se presente con volantes que se cosen en líneas montándose unos encima de otros. El resultado: una prenda con movimiento gracias a esas capas de las que dispone. No obstante, se puede optar también por presentar los volantes al hilo.

What cannot be lacking in your flamenca outfit:

If you find yourself visiting flamenco dress shops in Seville because you want to purchase one for yourself, it is important not only to know the current fashion but also the essential elements that your outfit should have.

Yes, you read correctly. It turns out that there are a series of elements that can pass unnoticed, but that are essential for you to feel as comfortable as possible:

• Hidden pockets so as to be able to keep anything from your mobile phone, to house keys or money.

• Pay attention also to the zips on the flamenco dresses you like. You should choose a simple option that is comfortable when dressing and undressing.

• Also, don’t forget either to take into account the weight of the fabric of the outfit, since this is one of the factors that will make you feel comfortable in the dress.
