Every girl dreams of universal clothes, which can have both light and insulated models in her lineup. One of these options is a sundress, which has a lot of advantages, which we will now take a closer look at.

What is a sundress?

Since ancient times, it was customary to call a long, loose dress without sleeves as sundresses. After some time, the styles and length of sundresses have changed, but one thing has always remained constant - the absence of a sleeve in this product.

Origin story

Initially, the sarafan was considered a traditional dress of the peoples of Asian countries, but it came there from the Turkic tribes.

In Russian sources, the first mentions of sundresses date back to the beginning of 1376. Then, for the first time, this product became part of old Russian outfits and remains fashionable to the present day.

Styles and silhouettes

Sundress models differ not only in cut and style, even small details that seem not at all significant at first glance can be a distinctive feature.

Quite an interesting thing is a sundress skirt, which is a high-waisted skirt with rather wide and long straps.

For example, a sundress dress has a top, like a classic product with a rounded collar, but does not have sleeves. The hem of such a dress can be completely different lengths.

An apron - a sundress is part of the workwear of women working in the field of food or trade.This product helps to protect ordinary clothing from contamination.

A sundress - a transformer is a product, the straps of which can be tied in several ways, or even turn a sundress into a skirt.

The shirt sundress is the only thing in the sundress range that has long loose sleeves. The product is sewn in such a way that it imitates a sundress worn over a shirt, although in reality they are one piece.

There are also such summer models as a sundress - a T-shirt, a sundress - a pareo, a sundress - a jumpsuit, as well as models of sundresses in the form of a robe, tunic, shorts.

A trapezoidal cut is one of the characteristic models of sundresses, which also include a straight cut, a sundress - a loose-fitting hoodie and a classic A - silhouette.

A sundress - an embroidered shirt is an element of traditional national Russian or Ukrainian clothing.

A sundress - a case will help to emphasize the dignity of a figure, a high waist is suitable for a business look, and a low waistline will help create a light, airy look.

There are many little things that distinguish one model from another. For example, pockets, collar, peplum, tiered skirt, button closure, zipper, or combinations that include several such elements.

But not only the cut and the style distinguish sundresses from each other, but also the relevance for a particular situation, for a certain time of the year and weather conditions. Summer sundresses are made of light, natural fabric that is well ventilated. Some models made of translucent fabrics are suitable for sea travel.

Winter models of sundresses are made of thick woolen fabric, jacket material, velveteen or velor. Elegant models of sundresses can be made of silk or chiffon and decorated with multi-colored precious stones, lace, rhinestones or beads.

Home sundresses will be especially comfortable if they are made of dark knitwear - this way the product will be much more practical.

Everyday, medical and other work sundresses are made of cotton and synthetics, due to which their price becomes much lower, which allows you to purchase several items.

Styles

Different styles allow us to choose clothes that are typical for certain peoples and countries, as well as for different eras. Let's take a closer look at what features have different styles, as well as who are suitable for certain models.

The Greek style is characterized by refined lines and outlines, golden embroidery, and decor from large precious stones. Such sundresses are suitable for slender girls and look simply luxurious, making their owner an ancient Greek goddess.

A nautical-style sundress can be decorated with dark blue stripes on a white background, prints in the form of lifebuoys and anchors. Depending on the style, such a sundress will suit everyone.

The Provence style is characterized by soft fabrics and a print in small flowers of delicate shades, the safari style implies beige shades, and the boho style is dominated by warm colors and linen fabrics.

Family bow - clothes for mothers and their little daughters. The same sundresses look very stylish and will undoubtedly appeal to any baby who wants to be like her mother.

Models in retro style, sundresses with ethnic motives are also popular. Every girl will find a model to her liking. Business sundresses are perfect for office style, and sports models can be perfect for outdoor activities or playing tennis. There are also a number of sexy sundresses for relaxed girls who want to attract attention.

Length

Sundresses differ in different lengths, which may be appropriate for certain circumstances.

The length of the maxi and midi are the most restrained and feminine, the short mini is suitable for young slender girls, the sundresses to the knee and below represent a version of the classic length.

Skirt options

A fluffy skirt looks beautiful only if it is knee-length and below. Short fluffy skirts look a little out of place and add excessive fullness to the hips.

A sundress skirt is one of the most important elements of the image, reflecting the taste preferences, temperament and inner world of its owner.

Models of skirts sun and half sun look very beautiful and also have a magnificent style. In addition, these options look very light and are well suited for hot weather conditions.

Both of these options can be attributed to the style of the flared skirt, as well as the trapezoidal cut. But in general, a flared skirt, by definition, is a product that expands to the bottom.

The balloon skirt looks unusual, which very often consists of several layers gathered at the bottom, thereby creating a voluminous look.

Bodice decoration

Sundress differences can also be in the design of the bodice. Some options look more closed and chaste, some are more frank, and some even look too vulgar if the size of the product is not chosen correctly.

Making the bodice of a sundress with a yoke is the most restrained option, which speaks of the calm nature of its owner. The model hides the neckline, since it starts from the lower line of the neck, but this does not spoil the image at all, because open shoulders in such a sundress look even more seductive.

But the yoke is not the only option for a closed bodice on a sundress. Another option is a drawstring bodice with a so-called American armhole. The model of this sundress visually increases the shoulders, so it is suitable only for girls with narrow shoulders.

Neck ties are good for curvy girls as they can be adjusted to support the chest well.

Sundresses without shoulder straps are equipped with a special silicone strip on the seamy side, which has a "suction cup" effect and helps the product to stay in the chest area and not slip. In addition, this model can be equipped with thin elastic bands in the chest area, with a slightly gathered bodice effect. Such a sundress looks simple, but very convenient in everyday use.

Another option for a sundress without straps is a model with a corset, which perfectly supports the chest, giving it a more curvaceous shape, and also emphasizing the state of the slender silhouette.

For pregnant women and nursing mothers

A number of sundresses for pregnant and breastfeeding girls make life much easier for young mothers. The loose fit and a special groove for the tummy make the product as comfortable as possible, and the bodice is cut in such a way that the breasts can be easily removed and fed to your baby.

For full

The standard size range for thin girls, from 38 to 48 sizes, allows slim women with any parameters to choose the perfect sundress.

But after all, ladies with non-standard parameters no less want to look luxurious, so designers are engaged in the production of a fairly wide selection of large sundresses. Sundresses of sizes 52, 54 and 56 have a fitted cut to slightly adjust the silhouette. And sizes 60 - 62 and more are made in a free style, so as not to cause inconvenience and not to focus on completeness.

The size range of sundresses is wide enough, so every girl will be able to purchase a suitable model that fits perfectly on the figure.

For the elderly

Elderly women prefer the most comfortable sundresses of the simplest cut from materials that are pleasant to the touch. Straight, flared and trapezoidal cuts will be in priority, and calm warm shades, close to the natural skin tone, prevail among the colors.

Youth

For youth sundresses, mini lengths, various types of decor, and bright colors are characteristic. All kinds of bright prints, unusual fabric combinations and short skirts will undoubtedly become the hit of the season among young girls.

The image is not complete without high heels, because young ladies love to draw attention to themselves with the help of fashionable shoes. In addition, shoes with heels help to stretch the silhouette, visually enlarge the legs and make them slimmer.

Fashion trends and novelties 2016

Fashion trends are fleeting and change almost weekly, because modern couturiers do not stand still and do not stop at creating models of the same type.

Recently, sundresses with an American armhole, which are the front and back parts of a trapezoidal shape, attached to a special drawstring, have become wildly popular. Sundresses of such a model can be made of their smooth flowing fabric, and can also have a pleated effect, in the form of numerous small vertical folds.

Among the fashion trends of this year, there are also quite open models with a deep neckline, suitable only for girls with beautiful shapes. But it is worth being careful and choosing a dress that is not too open, because there is a risk of looking vulgar and vulgar.

Decor options can be completely different - embroidery with colored threads or beads, different stripes, decorative buttons, brooches and large rhinestones.

Sundresses with various kinds of decor are also popular, which, by the way, look very elegant and, quite possibly, may be suitable as an evening dress. Sundresses with ruffles at the top of the product look very gentle and feminine, especially if the model of the sundress opens the collarbones and shoulders.

Decorative lace inserts also look beautiful. They can be in the area of the straps, back, abdomen, or even, the sundress itself can be made of lace with a knitted lining.

Textile

Of course, it is preferable that sundresses are made from natural fabrics obtained without chemical exposure and the addition of synthetic fibers. Fabrics such as cambric, chintz, calico, gauze, silk and crepe de Chine are excellent material options for sewing summer sundresses.

Sundresses made of viscose, leather, corduroy and wool are denser and sometimes even warmer. These materials are used for sewing business clothes, school uniforms and models of sundresses for the autumn - winter period.

Models made of translucent fabrics are well suited for the beach season, the pleated bottom of the product will become its real decoration, and the openwork sundress is ideal for a romantic evening.

Color and print

A sundress, like any multifunctional product, has not only a huge range of models, but also an absolutely incredible color palette.

Dark shades such as blue, dark green, black and brown are rarely used for summer and light models, but are quite common in business and school sundresses, as well as models for an evening out.

Bright shades - blue, turquoise, pink, orange and many others - are widely used for sewing summer collections of sundresses.

Pastel shades are suitable for feminine people, as well as women of age. Thus, beige and light gray sundresses will also find their owners. Various kinds of prints are also popular. Depending on your taste preferences, you can choose the right model.

Floral print, cherry or fruit print, leopard and camouflage print are the real favorites this season.

Brand and designer sundresses

Sundresses are in the collection of almost every eminent couturier, who, by the way, are versatile personalities, which explains the great variety of models.

Italian designers, as true connoisseurs of female beauty, as well as simply hot temperamental people, create stunning models of sundresses that emphasize the beauty of female forms. In addition, Spanish fabric manufacturers are famous for the high quality of the material, therefore, when purchasing a Spanish-made sundress, you can rest assured of the quality of the natural fibers from which the material is made, as well as the quality of the product itself.

Sundresses from Chanel are incredibly popular, models from Kenzo and Versace are distinguished by restraint and elegance, and sundresses from the domestic designer, Bella Potemkina - femininity and tenderness itself, in a word - the dream of any girl.

How to choose according to the figure?

In order not to look inappropriate and untidy, you need to choose a sundress that is suitable for the parameters of your particular figure. Thin girls with beautiful rounded shapes can afford absolutely any model of a sundress, because any product fits perfectly on a slender figure.

For girls with a pronounced unhealthy thinness, products of a free, voluminous cut are suitable, which will help to visually increase the parameters of the figure.

Fat girls should approach the choice of sundresses more carefully, because a full figure needs to hide flaws, and not focus on them. A sundress A-shaped silhouette is suitable, which perfectly emphasizes the lush breasts, but will hide the full lives and imperfections in the hips.

Straight and trapezoidal sundresses are quite suitable for full ladies, as well as loose knitwear models with an emphasis on the waist in the form of a small decorative strap.

What to wear with?

A sundress can be combined with a T-shirt, turtleneck, shirt or blouse, if it is a model of a business sundress or an element of a school uniform, since independent products do not need this.

Any sundress can be complemented with a jacket, blazer, cropped jacket or some other top element. Products correctly selected in style and color will help to give the image a stateliness and make the femininity of a young girl more mature and restrained.

As for shoes, don't be afraid to experiment! Knitted sundresses go well with sports shoes, so you can safely put on sneakers and go for a summer walk.

Lightweight sundresses made of flowing fabric require more feminine solutions in terms of shoes, so it is better to consider choosing shoes and sandals with heels, as well as flat sandals decorated with precious stones, embroidery or beads.

Beautiful images

A very cute A-shaped beach sundress has a rather interesting print in the form of large turquoise sheets on a black background. Ties in the form of braided braids made of the same material, as well as a decorative strip under the chest line, add a little romance to the image. Complete the outfit with chunky bracelets and a long necklace made of small beads, and feel free to go on a romantic beach date!

With a sundress, you can create a truly chic look if you choose a model of a dress-sundress with a neckline and floor-length. A print in the form of colorful birds and flowers on a white background gives the product lightness and perkiness, and this length of the flared hem looks luxurious. This sundress in itself is an adornment of the image and does not need additional accessories.

A sundress can be not only free and airy, but also sexy tight, emphasizing the dignity of the figure. A small black polka dot print set against a white background and a row of small black buttons on the front of the garment give it a slightly relaxed look. You can complement the look with black sandals or stiletto heels, as well as small details - small earrings and a thin bracelet are fine.
