The back curtain is a V-shaped drop with a draping effect that exposes the wearer’s back. It can be added to dresses, cardigans, jackets, and shirts. The style was popular in the 1970s and 1980s and resurfaced in the late 2000s for comfort.
The back curtain, also known as a back curtain or back cover, has a V-shaped drop with a draping effect that is similar, as the name implies, to curtains hung from windows. As with window shades, the material can be left to flow freely or with a more even pleat. The effect is created by using excess material to create a loose, floppy, floppy look. There is no common sleeve length or style that goes along with this type of back curtain.
This draped look is designed to show or expose the back of the wearer. Traditionally, clothing is created to focus the drama of the design on the front of the garment; With this style, however, the dramatic effect is visible only from the rear. The front of the garment is usually a simple, unadorned style.
To add a fuller look, shirred, pleated, and crimped pieces can be part of the piece. While these are added to the side of the garment, the front often lacks fullness and tends to be more form fitting. Often a tie is added to the back of the neckline to prevent the garment from slipping off the wearer’s shoulders. When tied, the threads are left to hang down the back. Often the ties will have embellishments or embellishments for added effect.
The back curtain was not a common feature in the minimalist designs of the 1990s, but was more common in the larger and grander styles of the late 1970s and 1980s. The style resurfaced in the trends of the late 2000s. Originally, the design was more effective, while the revival of this feature is all about comfort.
Traditionally, dresses, more than casual wear, will have a drape back. For example, this is often a feature of a wedding dress. Draped back dresses can also be worn with a sloping back lariat, further accentuating the look and focusing on bare skin.
Often made of cotton, a cotton blend, or jersey material, the draped tunic or tank are also comfortable wardrobe items. While they sport a distinct style, their distinctive style seems to envelop the wearer. These items are often paired with skinny or boyfriend jeans.
While dresses commonly feature a draped back, cardigans, jackets, and shirts also employ this design technique. These flowing garments are not form fitting. For this reason, pieces with this feature are often used to camouflage what some consider to be flaws in the figure.
