School sundresses for girls
Sundress as an element of school uniform
The history of the school uniform began in the 19th century with the introduction of general standards for civil and military uniforms, including for students in gymnasiums. Initially, the uniform was intended for boys in the image and likeness of military uniforms.
Subsequently, with the advent of women's educational institutions (gymnasiums, boarding schools), a single female form arose. At first, these were dresses in a strict style, as closed as possible and "equalizing" everyone, despite the class and belonging to the ranks. Moreover, girls of different age groups had a uniform of their own color, an addition in the form of a colored belt and an apron (apron) was allowed.
Further, the school uniform was either abolished, then re-introduced, modified taking into account the time and fashion.
The sundress as an element of the school uniform has appeared in our country since the end of the 90s, when the school uniform was completely abolished, and in 1999. again tried to introduce it not everywhere, but already in certain regions and some educational institutions.
The school sundress immediately fell in love with millions of schoolgirls because of its versatility and convenience.
Modern fashion trends and cuts have made this type of school uniform for girls a real hit.
Styles and models
The lineup of school sundresses is replete with variety and a huge selection. Most popular models:

Colors
The color scheme of sundresses for schoolgirls is also distinguished by great variability.

The choice of the color of the sundress uniform for the school largely determines the charter of the school your child goes to. The dress code and acceptable color schemes for school uniforms are especially spelled out in the charter of each school.
If the school does not adhere to a certain dress code, then the choice of the color palette of the sundress should be made based on considerations of practicality and the type of appearance and figure of the schoolgirl.
Materials (edit)
High-quality fabrics are used for school uniforms due to the fact that:
- A school sundress should be practical to wear and care for;
- A durable and durable material from which the sundress is made is preferable, since the child spends most of the time at school and, accordingly, in uniform.
- The fabric of the sundress should be as wrinkle-proof as possible;
- Meet the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor.
In addition, the ability to shrink the fabric after washing, ironing, dry cleaning plays an important role.
The fabric should meet the requirements for comfort and convenience, first of all, for the child himself.
Let us dwell in more detail on the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor for fabrics for school uniforms:
- Hygroscopicity;
- Air permeability;
- Moisture absorption;
- Non-toxic.
In other words, the fabric for a school uniform must be air permeable, i.e. "Breathe" and absorb moisture, while having a low toxicity index.
For sewing sundresses for school uniforms, they mainly use natural fabrics with the addition of artificial fibers (for example, viscose, polyester, elastane, other synthetics, etc.), since completely natural fabrics quickly wear out and wrinkle. The percentage of additives in the fabric should not exceed 30-40%, the base should be natural.
Along with ordinary fabrics, sundresses from knitted and knitted fabrics have become very popular. Attention should also be paid to the quality of the cut and trim details, the quality of the seams and accessories.

Examples of stylish looks
The model of a sundress-dress for a schoolgirl looks original in the form of an elongated sleeveless jacket, a double-breasted style of a beautiful gray shade. The suit collar and patch pockets are finished with fabric of the same color, but with a different texture, which emphasizes the originality and uniqueness of the image. The length of a sundress above the knees allows you to put on a short blouse under it and a long one, as in the photo. Any comfortable footwear is suitable. This model will appeal to both a primary school girl and a teenager.
Unusual model of a sundress for a schoolgirl made of navy blue suit fabric with a high waist and decorative bow-ties decorating the lines of the pleats on the skirt. The trapezoidal cut and pleated part of the skirt in the middle of the high waistline in the form of a hidden pleat adds "zest" to the usual silhouette. This detail incredibly decorates a seemingly simple sundress and adds freedom of movement to the child. Sleeves in the form of small wings look childishly funny. Turtlenecks and blouses with a collar are perfectly combined with such a model.
A simple and very romantic "girlish" sundress of dark color from a practical fabric will appeal to more than one "little princess". Such a sundress with a round neckline and a flared skirt looks very impressive. Romance and tenderness is added by the layering of the skirt, created with the help of a small, triple flounce. A small bow separates the hip line for a slightly austere yet playful look. You can wear such a sundress both with different elegant blouses, and with strict shirts and practical turtlenecks.
Another original look at the sundress uniform is the combination of a corset version with a peplum. The gray color of the fabric seems to focus attention on numerous details: a two-tiered peplum made of practical dense fabric, a zip fastening at the back gives the product restraint, knee-length, straight fit and sleeves - the lanterns look very attractive. Can be easily combined with any blouses, turtlenecks, sweatshirts, long sleeves.
