It's no secret that the image of a modern woman should be bright and individual. Since the days of the USSR, women of fashion have learned how to create unique dresses from scarves. The reason for this was the shortage of beautiful dresses. Initially, scarves were simply tied in a certain way, thereby creating a kind of sundress. Later, real trendy dresses were cut and sewn from colorful scarves.

If there are slight restrictions in the cut of a scarf dress, then this does not apply to the length. The longer the perimeter of the scarf, the longer the dress will be.
So there are plenty of options to create the desired image: a mini outfit will present beautiful legs to others, a knee-length dress will emphasize the modesty of nature, and a maxi length will add elegance.
