Fashionable dress-sundresses fall-winter 2024-2025

The sundress is the oldest clothing. Many researchers believe that the origins of this clothing go back to Ancient Egypt. And indeed, on Egyptian women "kalaziris" - the so-called clothes with straps, is very similar to a sundress. Others, the origin of the word "sarafan", refer to the Iranian word "sarapa" or "sarapay", which meant "from head to toe" or "honorable clothing".

The term "sundress" in Russia first appeared in the Nikon Chronicle.

Be that as it may, a sundress is a sleeveless garment with armholes for the arms, that is, a sleeveless dress, or a high skirt with straps. And as he was loved in Russia, so this should be discussed separately, but another time ...

And now, looking at the collections of the season autumn-winter 2024–2016, you can be sure that, despite the antiquity of this clothing, it remains popular today, albeit in a different, modern way. In the new season, designers decided to pay much more attention to it than in previous seasons, so you can see a dress-sundress in many collections.

As for a long time, so now there are straight and detachable sarafans in cut (the bodice and skirt are sewn), with help or with straps, assembled or smooth, wedge-shaped or swing, closed and open, etc.
