Beautiful summer sundresses and modern fashion
The sundress is the most ancient clothing of mankind. The classic presentation of a sundress is long clothes in a loose fit, sleeveless, straps, or shoulder straps. The sundress was used in many national costumes, but it especially came to the court in Russia.
The term "sarafan" was first mentioned in Russian written sources in the Nikon Chronicle in 1376. But today we will not dwell on the history of its origin. For more than 650 years, the sundress has had a lot to go through. And now the models that designers offer us are completely different clothes, different from those that existed earlier in folk costumes.
Having got acquainted with the collections of the summer season, we will select only those in which some elements of the Russian traditional sarafan have remained. In other words, all the models of sundresses presented here, regardless of length, type of material, will be on straps - wide or thin, but on straps.
The cut of sundresses changed constructively even in those distant times, because it was a reflection of the life of people in those conditions. Therefore, in our time, sundresses are also distinguished by their cut, color and decorative elements.

It was at this time that Pierre Cardin presented short woolen sundresses worn on a turtleneck on the catwalk. In the new collections, summer short sundresses are considered by designers for the office, and on the beach, and as an evening dress.

Looking at the new models, we can say that in modern fashion the boundaries of the difference between a sundress and a dress are somewhat blurred. Therefore, if the name of a sundress in an evening dress is unacceptable for someone, call your outfit a dress.

Remember the beautiful Russian romance:
"Do not neck me, mother,
Red sundress, ...
... Either a girl's life,
To change it
Rush to get married
Howl and sigh! ... ".
Still, there were black sundresses, a particular preference for them was in the northern provinces of Russia, for example, in the Arkhangelsk province.
In modern fashion, a black sundress is one of the most demanded items of clothing. After all, it is easy to pick up a turtleneck or a blouse of any color for him. And there are smart ones, with a fitted cut and a flared skirt, decorated with flounces and lace. It is not necessary to match them with a second piece of clothing. They are good in themselves and will decorate every girl.
