Dresses-sundresses: current trends

A sundress is the most recognizable element of the Russian national costume. Women and girls wore these clothes long before us, and now, after so many years, the sundress is still one of the favorite things in our wardrobe. Characteristic features of the Russian sundress were wide straps and a spacious skirt on the floor. The bodice could be either dense or free - but always closed.

Modern sarafans have changed significantly and already little resemble those in which our ancestors went. The skirt can now be of any length, and the straps are thin or completely absent. Another significant difference is this: if before a sundress was worn exclusively under a shirt, now it is worn mainly on a naked body.

For slender girls with a boyish figure, a sundress with a loose skirt and frills on the bodice will give volume in the chest and hips. High-waisted sundresses are well suited to both slim and plump young ladies.

Owners of a pronounced waist line, magnificent breasts and hips should pay attention to fitted models. Girls with a pear-shaped figure need to choose sundresses with a voluminous top (for example, with sleeve-wings or ruffles on the bodice).

In Russia they wore only long sundresses, after all, to demonstrate legs until the last century was considered indecent. In modern fashion, the maximum closed bottom is offset by an open top.Maxi sundresses, as a rule, have a top that completely opens the shoulders.

IN short sundresses many girls prefer to dress as soon as warm days arrive. In light dresses that open most of the body, it is incredibly comfortable in the heat: they do not constrain movements and allow you to get a beautiful tan.

Dress Sundress little resembles the usual bright, summer dress. It refers more to the business style, and many put it on work. This style is characterized by the presence of sleeves and a collar. Often such a sundress has a fitted silhouette, so it is worn with a belt.

Sundress with a smell Is a legacy of the 60s fashion. Today, stylists recommend such models to chubby girls, as they perfectly mask the protruding belly and emphasize the magnificent chest. That is why expectant mothers often buy sundresses.

However, sundresses are not only summer, but also designed for the cold season. In this case, they are sewn from denser and warmer fabrics containing wool or synthetic fibers.

Flax clothes, which disappeared from our wardrobes for a long time, are now actively returning to their positions. Accustomed to synthetic fabrics, we forgot about how comfortable our body is in things made of natural material. Linen sundresses have again come into fashion thanks to the eco-style - a popular direction in design based on the use of natural materials.

Denim clothing is an integral part of casul style. Jeans, denim jackets, overalls and dresses make our life much more convenient. Denim sundresses are good because they can be worn not only in summer, but also in the cold season - in combination with a shirt or turtleneck. Light sundresses made of thin denim look very cute and romantic.

With a few skeins of yarn, a pair of knitting needles or a hook, you can create unusually beautiful, truly unique outfits. One of the most suitable models of dresses for knitting is a sundress. It fits quite simply and, in addition, a miniature sundress woven from bright threads looks very impressive.

For the summer, girls choose dresses mainly in bright colors. Indeed, for the long autumn-winter season we are so tired of strict dark shades! When the skin tans a little, be sure to wear light-colored sundresses that set off the tan - white, lemon, pale lilac. However, dresses of saturated shades - yellow, raspberry, turquoise, emerald - look no less beautiful on dark skin.

Sundresses do not have to be monophonic: feel free to choose models with a bright print, for example, animal or abstract geometric patterns. Popular today, the so-called "gradient" color: when one color smoothly passes into another.

As we wrote above, a sundress dress is great for girls with curvaceous shapes. Thanks to the free cut, it perfectly masks all problem areas, focusing on the merits of the figure. If you have massive shoulders, try not to wear dresses with magnificent sleeves - “wings” and “flashlights”. If you have a tummy, sundresses with a high waistline or with a smell will look best. Full legs perfectly conceal a spacious skirt on the floor.

Not only the style of the dress-sundress, but also its color will help visually correct the figure. When choosing a model with a pattern, avoid too small patterns and horizontal stripes.

Sundress, depending on its model, goes well with different things. Summer sundresses can be worn with a denim jacket or shirt, as well as with a delicate bolero or thin jacket. Office sundresses are worn with a shirt, blouse or turtleneck. 90s-style denim sundresses can be worn over t-shirts.

Different shoes fit a sundress - modern girls wear it even with sneakers. A more traditional option is sandals or sandals. Clogs and shales are also suitable (the latter is still recommended to be worn only on the beach). In the cool season, the sundress can be worn with office shoes, boots or boots.

Sundress - the outfit is very feminine and a little frivolous, so he needs appropriate accessories. This romantic dress will suit small, colorful handbags or spacious wicker bags. It goes well with straw hats and original headbands. Wooden or plastic multi-tiered beads and bracelets will be very out of place, as well as large earrings.

• Give preference to sundresses from natural fabrics. They look much better than artificial ones and, in addition, allow you not to feel discomfort in the heat.
• Choose a dress-sundress, based on the type of your figure. All flaws must be hidden or well camouflaged, and all virtues must be emphasized.
• Pay attention not only to the style of the dress, but also to the color performance. A simple sundress of an unusual color that favorably shades your appearance will look much better than the most elegant dress of an unsuccessful color.
