Spanish traditional costume 'Flamenco dress'

▶ Spanish traditional costume 'Flamenco dress'

The flamenco dress was designed to enhance a woman's figure and hide flaws. It still reflects the past while looking to the future. Poplin is being used once again, along with the close fit. However, the dress now also comes in a two-piece style. I think the brilliant colors and ruffled flamenco dress is symbolic of the cool, sharp atmosphere of Spain.



  The flamenco dance wear is a costume Spanish dress worn by female flamenco performers. Spanish flamenco dresses provide an important visual element to flamenco shows. The dress transcends classification as just a regional costume and incorporates an important part of cultural identity.

  The dress is figure-hugging, ankle length, with ruffles in both the layered skirt and the sleeves. The most common colors for flamenco dresses are red, black and white but they are typically bright colored. The most typical Spanish flamenco dress features a polka dotted pattern, but they can also be plain dresses with no pattern. The flamenco dancer normally appears with her hair in a bun, a mantle on her shoulders and high heels. Over time the flamenco costume has become richer in color and has adopted adornments and compliments such as lacing, embroidered ribbons, flowers, costume-jewelry and hand fans.

  The unique look of flamenco dance wear inspires designers from all over the world to produce their own flamenco dress styles by combining tradition and innovation. In fact, each year at the International Flamenco Fashion Show in Seville designers present the latest trends in flamenco clothing. Flamenco clothing has stood the test of time and will continue to reinvent itself as an important part of the Spanish culture and tradition.
