Ruffles are able to give the image of “rural” sentimentality or turn an ordinary dress into a work of high fashion, they can stretch the silhouette or add volume where necessary.
Volumetric shuttlecocks
Volumetric, large shuttlecocks become one of the most striking elements of the image, attracting attention and forming a silhouette. Such a shuttlecock can turn an ordinary blouse, dress or top into a work of haute couture, haute couture, or translate an everyday restrained image into the category of avant-garde or evening ones.

Large folds and draperies
A more traditional way to shape the silhouette with the use of garment fittings is to use large “flying” ruffles for a beautiful drape. This option is very good for evening fashion, especially dresses and skirts. But with the appropriate selection of models and fabrics, a richly draped dress will look good during the day, especially in spring and summer.

Small frills
A very different effect is given by small ruffles and frills. They can cover the dress with an almost continuous layer, creating the effect of textured fabric, or there can be only one such frill in the image. Using small frills, you should be more careful: such ruffles are likely to give the effect of "expansion" due to an excess of texture, they are also able to make the outfit a bit rustic, giving it a "rural" sentimentality and some kind of infantility. It is important to choose the location of the frills (it is better - diagonally or vertically) and choose the fabric (fine frills from a translucent fabric to the tone of the dress look good or, on the contrary, contrast).

Ruffles on sleeves and collar
Sleeves and a collar decorated with frills refer to the romantic fashion of the 18th century. A collar resembling a frill, or a neckline with a shuttlecock, opening the shoulders, usually perform solo. A small frill on the collar of a blouse or dress is often combined with a similar sleeve trim.

Skirts with several tiers of ruffles
Another “historical” trend, returning to the catwalks again and again - skirts with frills or frills in several tiers. They are good for both evening and everyday look - it all depends on the choice of fabric and finish and options for combining with other things in the look. It is worth remembering that horizontal frill always adds volume, and such a frill in several tiers - especially.

Asymmetrical ruffles
An option that not only does not add extra volume, but, on the contrary, “stretches” the silhouette - an asymmetric arrangement of frills and frills, especially large ones. In this case, the drapery can be either deliberately, excessively lush, or rather minimalistic - the effect is preserved in both cases.
