Sack

The sack dress is a type of feminine clothing that gets its name due to its design similar to that of a sack or bag.

Its shape is characterized by a clearance of different width at waist height that is re-tightened at the height of the legs. It was invented by Cristóbal Balenciaga in the years 1950 causing a great scandal, and later relaunched by Christian Dior. The cocktail dress designed by Balenciaga in 1957 in gray crêpe is a model that emphasized the back and the hip narrowing below the knees. At present, it is considered a benchmark in the world of fashion.

Contemporary designers continue to present bag dresses in their collections in various cuts and materials such as cotton, corduroy, etc.
