The advantages of sundresses include not only lightness and comfort, but also the ability to transform. You can add a formal jacket or denim jacket to the outfit and look appropriate even on a cool day.
History of Appearance
Many believe that a sundress is a native Russian clothing, but this is not at all the case. In Russia, such an outfit appeared in the 13th century, and before that it was already popular in Europe. Of course, in those days, a short sundress could not be seen on the fairer sex, since everyone wore exceptionally long clothes. In addition, in the 15th century, men were the owners of sundresses, and only in the 17th century did this element gradually begin to move into women'swardrobe.
Over time, sundresses changed their appearance, style, method of sewing and manufacturing. Much depended on the region, fashion trends and the social status of the lady. The most popular models were:
- long, practical, flat sundress with a high neck;
- straight with wide straps;
- flared silhouette with wedge inserts;
- Straight fit with front seam or buttons down front.
Each girl had to decorate her own outfit. Embroideries, frills, decoration with braid, ribbons, etc. were in fashion. As for embroidery, floral motifs and various ornaments prevailed in it. For festive sundresses, they usually chose silk fabric or brocade, which was then decorated with lace made of gold or silver threads.
Modernity
It was in the twentieth century that sundresses became fashionable and were gladly accepted by women. So, in the 60s, a short sundress, created by the famous fashion designer Pierre Cardin, appeared on the arena. He was the first to come up with the idea of sewing it from a dense fabric and wearing it over a turtleneck, which in everyday wear showed its practicality.
Today, both young girls and adult ladies wear sundresses without hesitation. Summer (short and long) are in great demand, but there are also winter models that are successfully combined with warm sweaters, jackets, etc. There are a lot of different models, including both short and floor-length options, with wide, narrowstraps and without them. But the fact remains - sundresses are not going to go out of fashion, but rather the opposite - they are firmly established in every home and every women's closet.
Distinguishing Features
The main feature of sundresses is that they are able to demonstrate the fragility and tenderness of a lady, beautiful female forms and at the same time hide flaws. Now it is possible to buy this item of clothing both in hypermarkets and order in online shops that post online photos of short sundresses and long, straight and flared ones. There are several main types of models: everyday, evening, summer, beach, office. When choosing a style, ladies should pay attention to all the details and pay close attention to the fabric.

Fashion trends of the season
This season, designers have pleased with a mixture of styles and fabrics, a variety of patterns, shades and styles. Nevertheless, one line common to all fashion designers can be traced - a light volume of forms, which helps to hide some of the flaws in the physique. In other words, they try to sew both a long and a short sundress in such a way as to visually present the figure in the most presentable perspective. Luisa Beccaria, Carolina Herrera, Chloe, Altuzarra and others stand out among the designers who presented new sundresses to the world.
How to choose the right sundress
Of course, the choice of sundress depends on where they are going to wear it and at what time of the year. If it is summer time and the temperature outside is above +30 degrees, then you should pay attention to short summer sundresses. Photos of models will help you decide on fashion trends.
Also, don't forget about the body type. If the lady is overweight, then it is better to opt for a straight cut, and not a flared one, so as not to look even fuller. And on thin girls, models with a sun skirt, a balloon or a bell will look great. The geometric pattern will emphasize harmony more favorably. For younger girls, options for sundresses in the style of military or safari are suitable. Denim models are more often taken for every day, and flying lace ones are for romantic meetings and walks. The absence of one strap adds a special piquancy, but suchthe nuance is more appropriate for evening models.
