The modern romantic style on the other hand contains all the most feminine elements from the fashions of the past. Current-day designers have introduced a number of new names to the romantic style genre in an attempt to define the source. Some of the more common names, for instance are romantic vintage style of the twenties or romantic vintage style of the thirties. Romantic wear is the clothing that adorns women, emphasizes the beauty of the female figure and accentuates the advantages of the female body. The romantic vintage dress reflects such woman-like features as: beauty, femininity, romanticism, sensuality, elegance, softness. The silhouette of a vintage romantic style is light and soft with flowing lines. The body beautifully exposed with a variety of artistic slits and low-necks. The provocative is not always the norm as the body may be sheltered, but only if the figure is tightly outlined by the fabric. Drapes are the important element of the romantic vintage style dress.
