In the summer, any person wants to dress as light and comfortable as possible in order to tolerate the heat as calmly as possible. In particular, among ladies, such summer clothes as a short sundress are especially popular. This unique wardrobe item is suitable for absolutely all women and girls, since now many of its styles and models have been created. The advantages of sundresses include not only ease and comfort, but also the ability to transform. You can add a strict jacket or denim jacket to the dress and even look cool on a cool day.
Appearance story
Many believe that a sundress is a native Russian clothing, but this is not so at all. In Russia, such an outfit appeared in the 13th century, and before that it was already popular in Europe. Of course, in those days it was impossible to see a short sundress on the fairer sex, since everyone wore exceptionally long clothes. In addition, in the 15th century, men were owners of sundresses, and only in the 17th century did this element gradually begin to turn into a women's wardrobe.
Over time, sundresses changed their appearance, style, method of sewing and manufacturing. Much depended on the region, fashion trends and the social status of the lady. The most popular models were:
- long, practical, straight sundress with a high neck;
- straight with wide straps;
- flared silhouette with inserts in the form of wedges;
- straight cut with front seam or buttons on the front panel.
Each girl had to decorate her outfit on her own. Embroidery, frills, decoration with braid, ribbons, etc. were in fashion. As for embroidery, floral motifs and various ornaments prevailed in it. For holiday sundresses, usually silk fabric or brocade was chosen, which was then decorated with lace of gold or silver threads.
Modernity
It was in the twentieth century that sundresses became firmly fashionable and were accepted with pleasure by women. So, in the 60s a short sundress created by the famous fashion designer Pierre Cardin appeared in the arena. He was the first to invent to sew it from a dense fabric and wear it over a turtleneck, which in everyday wear proved to be practical.
Today, both young girls and adult ladies don sarafans without hesitation. Summer (short and long) are in great demand, however, there are winter models that are successfully combined with warm sweaters, jackets, etc. There are many different models, including both shortened and floor options, with wide, narrow straps and without them. But the fact remains - sundresses are not going to go out of fashion, but rather the opposite - firmly established in every home and every women's wardrobe.
Distinctive features
The main feature of sundresses is that they are able to demonstrate the fragility and tenderness of ladies, beautiful female forms and at the same time hide flaws. Now there is the opportunity to buy this item of clothing both in hypermarkets and order in online shops that post online photos of short sundresses and long, straight and flared. There are several main types of models: everyday, evening, summer, beach, office. When choosing a style, ladies should pay attention to all the details and pay attention to the fabric. Dense fabric will show a figure more advantageously than transparent, for example, chiffon.
Short length advantage
Separately, it is worth noting the advantages of short sundresses. They are an excellent choice for hot weather and generally for the spring-summer period. You can’t do without them on sea vacations, as well as mini-sundresses are good in everyday wear. They can be combined with shoes such as high-heeled sandals and wedges, ballet flats, sneakers, moccasins. The whole image is complemented by a hat or backpack. The last thing is perfect for a sports style sundress.
If there are doubts with what to combine such clothes with, then photos of short summer sundresses are presented on different tabloids and fashion magazines, where stylist tips are posted. Professionals assure that both young people and adult young ladies have the right to wear a short length.
Fashion trends of the season
This season, designers pleased with a mixture of styles and fabrics, a variety of patterns, shades and styles. Nevertheless, one common line is traced for all fashion designers - a light three-dimensional form, which helps to hide some of the shortcomings of the physique. In other words, they try to sew both a long and a short sarafan in such a way as to visually present the figure in the most presentable perspective. Among the designers who presented the world with new sundresses, Luisa Beccaria, Carolina Herrera, Chloe, Altuzarra and others stand out.
How to choose a sundress
Of course, the choice of a sundress depends on where it is going to be worn and at what time of the year. If it is summer time and on the street above +30 degrees Celsius, then you should pay attention to short summer sundresses. Photos of models will help determine fashion trends.
Also, do not forget about the type of figure. If the lady is overweight, then it is better to opt for a straight cut rather than a flared so as not to look even fuller. And on thin girls, models with a sun skirt, a balloon or a bell will look great. A geometric pattern will emphasize harmony more profitably. Younger girls are suitable options for sundresses in the style of military or safari. Denim models are often taken for every day, and flying lace ones - for romantic meetings and walks. A special piquancy is added by the absence of one strap, but this nuance is more appropriate for evening models.
