A bit of history
The sundress appeared in Russia thanks to the Turkic peoples. It was first mentioned in 1376 in the Nikon Chronicle. Over the years it has changed. Often it was possible to judge the social status of a person by it.
At first it was worn by men of high rank. In the XVII century, he settled only in the women's wardrobe. During the reign of Peter the Great, sarafans were worn by the daughters of merchants and commoners. Under Catherine II, they entered the wardrobe of ladies.
In 1965, Pierre Cardin presented the sundress in an unexpected light. He shortened the model by making it out of wool. They began to wear such sundresses with turtlenecks, which at that time were also a new type of clothing.
One of the varieties of school uniforms sundress has become in modern times. Although the form itself is over a hundred years old.The first uniform standards for girls arose in 1896, when the state began to take care of women's education. The uniform for girls was a dress below the knee of a strict style with a black and white apron.
In Soviet times, the traditions of Tsarist Russia were adopted and the school uniform for girls practically did not change. Later, another variety arose - a set of three items. It included a skirt, vest and jacket. Closer to the perestroika period, the length of the school uniform became shorter. In 1992 it was canceled due to political reasons.
In 2012, it again receives mandatory status, but a single standard has not been introduced. The parent committee or the pedagogical council can independently choose the style and color of the uniform. In conditions of free choice, a wide variety of models appeared, including sundresses. Due to a number of advantages, sundresses were appreciated and gained wide popularity.
Fashionable styles and models
The main difference between a sundress and a skirt is the ability to choose it according to the features of the figure. A variety of models makes it easy to do this. Sundresses can be free, straight or fitted cut. Sundresses of a free and straight cut may have a small bodice. However, most of the models have a trapezoidal or straight shape from the shoulder line.
Another option for a straight sundress is a model with a flared skirt at the bottom, which is most often made with pleats. This style resembles a year dress and is very popular in the new season.
Dresses with a fitted cut may vary in the shape of the skirt and the location of the belt. The belt or belt can be located under the chest line, at the waist or at the hip line.All these models suggest a fitted silhouette to the belt line or along the entire length of the sundress.
The shape of the skirt sundresses can vary greatly. The most popular of them have the following cut:
- Fitted. Such a sundress completely fits the figure, resembling adult models of dresses. Sundresses of this cut are designed for older girls.
- A-silhouette. This form of skirt has no gathers and folds, therefore it is made of dense fabrics that hold their shape well.
- In assembly. This form of skirt is also called "Tatyanka". It is gathered at the waistline, due to which it has a large volume.
- Pleated. Pleated skirts are so tightly in fashion that they can even be seen on sundresses. This model of sundress is very practical, because it does not wrinkle and does not need ironing.
- Into the fold. The pleats of this skirt are of equal width but different kinds of directions. Some models have folds directed in one direction, others in the opposite direction. In addition, there are models with their chaotic arrangement.
- Godet. This form of skirt is a combination of straight and flared. From the waist line, it has a straight cut or fits the figure, and at the very bottom it expands due to set-in wedges.

Recently, transparent inserts on clothes and mesh are gaining more and more popularity. Inserts are made in the form of stripes on the bottom of the sundress. The width and number of such bands vary. The mesh is located between the lining and the skirt and looks out from under it for a few centimeters. These types of sundresses look very elegant and resemble rather festive options.
The top of the sundress can be made in the form of a bodice or have straps. Sundresses with a bodice are often complemented with short petal sleeves. Straps can be short or long. Short straps can be complemented with wings, reminiscent of school uniform aprons.
