When the warm days come, more and more I want to expose the legs and arms, exposing them to the gentle sun. You can do this elegantly and feminine with the help of an open summer sundress.

Features

A sundress is a dress with straps instead of sleeves and shoulders. The variety of materials used for sewing is great, but natural ones remain one of the best options.

Cotton fabrics allow air to pass through and allow the skin to breathe and prevent heat from lingering. This feature of cotton makes it an ideal material for summer things.

In addition, cotton products are obtained not only in physical quality but also in visual quality. Natural materials are much worse than synthetic ones undergo stretching, so most of them are sewn free, not tight-fitting things.

Cotton sundresses seem flying, feminine, tender, and a free cut makes them comfortable.

Sundresses are so popular that they are presented in a huge number of different models. Therefore, without a doubt, every fashionista will be able to find summer clothes to taste. A sundress is considered the basic summer product around which a holistic image is created.

Cotton fabrics such as chintz, calico, satin, gauze, batiste, veil, and marquise are used to sew sundresses. Mercerized cotton is also common in the form of yarn, from which the products are knitted.

Models

A sundress has many types of cut: straight, loose or fitted, with a high waist, one-piece or not. There are several variations of cutouts (deep, round, v-shaped, rectangular) and straps (thin, wide or they are completely absent).

Differences in style relate to the skirt separately, for example, it can be straight or flared. Depending on the trends, there may be assemblies, flounces, pleats, inserts from other materials (lace, guipure, lace) on the sundress. Among the decorative elements there are ribbons, beads, rhinestones, embroidery, applique, bows, brooches.

Sundresses also differ in styles. It can be a minimalism style with the absence of any decorative elements; sports with laces, zippers, elastic bands; romantic with lace, beads and a delicate palette; retro style with flared skirts to the knee; beach when more transparent materials are used.

Length

Shortened models below the hips maximize the view of the legs, visually making them longer. Next is the average length of sundresses ending in the knee area.

They are the most practical and comfortable, since it is not only pleasant to walk in the heat in them, but etiquette allows you to attend any receptions with such a length of skirt.

Finally, the maxi length when the hem of the sundress is to the floor. These models look impressive and elegant, but it is not always convenient to actively move around the city in them.

It is worth noting the combined length on asymmetric models, on which the hem can be lengthened on one side and shortened on the other.

Color and print

Summer clothing involves the use of light and bright colors, and much less dark. The most common are pastel shades: beige, pink, pale blue, white. Of the bright ones, blue, green, orange, red, and yellow are always relevant.

From year to year, certain colors become fashionable, in which sundresses are embodied: for example, this year the trend is metallic and the color of natural denim.

However, some sundresses are suitable for an evening publication or an important meeting, at which it is preferable to be in something neutral and dark. Therefore, among the mottled, you can find black, gray, brown, burgundy, dark blue items.

Summer clothing is suitable for bold prints. The most popular are floral motifs, animalistic, ethnic and geometric, especially stripes and peas.

In recent years, a paisley pattern ("cucumbers") has always been present. Drawings can be presented as an ornament throughout the fabric or on individual elements.

How to choose?

If there are flaws in the figure, for example, large hips or tummy, it is worth choosing an a-shaped silhouette. Girls with wide shoulders should choose thickened wide straps, they will visually make the shoulders smaller.

Short girls should take a closer look at short high-waisted models and wear them with heels, so that their legs will appear longer.

Tall ladies can afford maxi sundresses, but it is best if the product has an emphasis on the waist in order to visually divide and highlight the waist of a sophisticated figure.

A sundress is one of the most suitable things for pregnant women. Future mothers should choose products with a high waist. Large prints should be abandoned, especially geometric ones, but floral ornaments will be ideal.

What to wear?

It is preferable to combine a cotton sundress with clothing made from natural materials, for example, with woolen or cotton vests, boleros, capes, cardigans. With the help of a jacket you can make the image more business-like, suitable for work. For a more daring contrast bow, you can choose leather or denim jackets and boleros.

Sundresses can be worn with any shoe, but in summer, the choice most often falls on sandals, flat shoes or heels, ballet flats, moccasins, sneakers. In combination with leather, you can put on shoes on the platform.

With cotton sundresses, ordinary jewelry looks most harmonious, and not precious metals and stones: massive bracelets and beads, large earrings. The handbag should be selected according to the general style, because clutches, shoppers, backpacks are suitable for a sundress.
