The sundress, if we do not look far into history, can be considered old Russian clothing. Yes, sometimes in modern fashion there are long-forgotten outfits, however, no one says that they came from Russia, because most often, from their own compatriots, you can hear that we do not know how to do anything, and everything that is done in Russia is not worth attention. But the famous designers of Europe and America skillfully use everything that has been invented since ancient times, and many items and elements of the Russian costume are considered interesting and original.

So it happened and in the mid 60s last century, when the collection of Pierre Cardin made a splash. Then the reason for this was a woolen open sleeveless dress with wide straps, in other words - a sundress. It was worn at that time with turtlenecks, which were then in vogue.

And then the summer season bloomed from year to year with new models, bright and delicate, with Russian and exotic patterns. In recent years, sundresses of a straight, fitted and flared silhouette from the bodice have generally been established.

Fashionable sundresses and dresses for the summer

What variations on the theme of sundresses do designers offer? today in 2020? How are they different from earlier models?

As for the silhouettes, they are still straight, fitted and flared. True, the last two models are much larger than the first. If sundresses are cut-off (the bodice is cut separately from the skirt), then in such cases the designers complement such a sundress with an interesting and original accessory - a belt or a belt, leaving the choice in width at the discretion of the fashionista.

In addition to the silhouette, the designers focus on the neckline and offer fashionistas a large selection of models. There are no restrictions on the classic square cut. You will find heart cut, loop cut, halter cut, American armhole and many others.



According to the latest trends, a free silhouette is among the leading ones, and there are many such sundresses. Most often they are made of lightweight fabrics, flying and flowing, which expand from the bodice or armholes.



In this silhouette, pleating of the model gives an expressive effect. These sundresses are extremely feminine and are associated with evening wear. Volume and a sense of freedom can be felt in sundresses with tiered gathers and ruffles.



By the way, frills are a favorite theme of designers lately. Therefore, perhaps you already have such a sundress? Whatever the silhouette of the sundress, the ruffles, light and fluttering like butterfly wings, create an impressive and playful image.



Lightness and airiness together with transparency are indispensable companions of summer time, therefore, you must have at least one sundress made of such fabric. Such models, especially long ones, will be just right on vacation by the sea. They will be able to replace the dress, and will look great on the embankment in the evening hours.



If you have already remembered the sea, then it's time to remember bright prints. Such models on the beach or while walking will certainly attract everyone's attention. For many designers, it is a pleasure to come up with and mix different prints. But their ideas will appeal to many of us. Perhaps for some it will be prints reminiscent of the tropics, where pineapples, coconuts grow, monkeys jump and parrots scream at everything, or you can simply decorate yourself with exotic plants with huge flowers. The main thing is to be bright, fun, playful.

Fashionable evening models

The choice of an evening sundress depends on what kind of festive event is planned. If we consider an evening model for a seaside holiday, then you can limit yourself to a long sundress with a catchy and bright print. Of course, a sundress is more of a leisure wear. But if you decide to wear a sundress for a ceremonial exit, choose a model made in a classic style, think over everything to the smallest detail. In this case, you can do without bright prints, in a monochromatic version.



The sundress emphasizes femininity, demonstrates a beautiful neck, shoulders, chest and posture. Designers offer a variety of models that differ in material, neckline, length, prints. Choose the best model for yourself.
