There are some outfits that are associated with a feeling of carefree joy, which only happens in childhood. To such things, many fashionable women without hesitation will attribute the skirt-sun. Such a skirt was probably in every girl - remember how beautiful it was waving, if you circled around your axis?
However, it would be a big mistake to believe that the sun skirt is an exclusively children's outfit. Many girls and women remain loyal to this original skirt, which always looks spectacular and stylish.
In this article we will tell you about the existing varieties of skirts, as well as about how and with what this garment should be worn.
Who is suitable?
Thanks to the special cut and material, the sun skirt keeps its shape perfectly. It does not completely fit the figure, so you can use it to hide the fullness in the hips.
But it should be remembered that this is a three-dimensional model that visually weighs down the lower part of the body, so it is very important to balance it with the help of a properly selected top.
Sun skirts are perfect for slim girls who lack the volume in the hips. With the help of such a skirt, an “inverted triangle” shape (wide chest and narrow hips) can be made similar to many favorite “hourglasses” (luxurious chest and lush hips).
Features
The main feature of the skirt-sun is its unusual cut. Traditionally, it was sewn without side seams. To do this, cut out an even circle from a piece of cloth, cut a hole in the center for the waist and sew a rubber in it.
Today there were modifications of the skirt-sun, sewn from several wedges. But even then, when unfolded, the product will have the shape of a circle.
The skirt-sun can "sit" not only on the rubber but also on the yoke. Particularly interesting is such a skirt on a high fit, for example, with a corset belt (it is, moreover, a good way to form a waistline).
Summer models
Sun skirt can be both winter and summer version of the dress. Summer models are distinguished by lighter fabrics and brighter colors.
Sun skirts from summer collections are usually made in rich, joyous colors. The colors associated with the sun, warmth, and the atmosphere of the holidays are dominated by yellow, orange, scarlet, azure, green and other juicy shades.
Prints and patterns on skirts, too, are somehow connected with summer images - these can be floral ornaments, patterns with a marine theme, fruit and berry drawings, images of tropical birds, etc.
High waist
Skirts with a high waistline have recently been particularly popular, and we can expect that they will remain relevant for several more fashionable seasons.
Skirt with a high waistline looks very advantageous, due to the fact that it is able to visually adjust the figure.
Due to the high fit of the skirt, the waist looks narrower than it really is. The flared skirt in combination with the underlined waist makes the proportions of the figure more harmonious.
With train
One of the most interesting modifications of the skirts is the asymmetrical skirt, elongated at the back. The long hem creates a plume effect, making the skirt look very unusual.
To make the train beautifully flowed, soft, loose fabrics, for example, chiffon, are chosen for sewing such skirts.If the material is very thin, then the skirt is complemented by a cover in tone of opaque fabric.
In front, such a skirt can be quite short, coquettishly exposing the legs above the knees. The length of the train can vary from a very short "tail" to the hem, falling to the floor. The latter option is usually chosen for the most solemn occasions, for example, for a wedding.
With pockets
Pockets are an item of clothing that performs not so much a practical as a decorative function. First of all it concerns patch pockets, which are specially made in such a way as to serve as a bright accent.
Patch pockets add volume to the hips; therefore, sun skirts with such bright detail are usually chosen by slender girls with narrow hips. If this part of the body causes you to have some doubts, take a look at the models with mortise pockets.
Elastic models
Classic skirt is a model with elastic. This option is especially convenient for children, as the rubber allows the child to quickly take off and put on skirts on their own.
However, adult girls will also like this model, as a loose elastic does not create discomfort in the waist area (so you can not be afraid to recover by a few kilograms).
If you are fond of needlework, then it is easy for you to sew a skirt-sun with an elastic band, as the pattern of such a product is very simple.
With folds
Large pleats are the most recognizable feature of sun skirts. Thanks to the folds, the product is volumetric and keeps its shape well. At the same time, skirts, sun, sewn from different types of fabrics, look completely different.
Thin materials allow you to get small in size, soft, flowing folds. Tighter, bulk waves are obtained from denser tissues. If you put the skirt on a yoke, the folds will be tighter, and if you choose an elastic band instead of a high belt, the folds will be smaller and softer.
Fabrics
So, the appearance and quality characteristics of the skirt-sun will depend largely on the type of fabric. In order for the skirt to retain its original shape, the fabric must be sufficiently dense. Consider several materials that seem to us the most suitable for a skirt-sun.
From tulle
This fabric is well known to those who are connected with the world of ballet, because it is from it that they sew tutus for ballerinas. Fatin is a translucent mesh material based on polyester. It is quite hard, therefore it keeps its shape well and is not deformed.
If you want to sew a skirt-pack in the shape of the sun, then you will need several layers of tulle. The skirt will be very voluminous and airy - it will look incredibly impressive.
Denim
An interesting casual model is a half-sun denim skirt. This material is ideal for creating such a skirt, because it is rather dense, but, at the same time, elastic. Denim skirts can be worn at any time of the year. They are perfectly combined with any top, be it a warm sweater or a light top.
Leather
Leather things always attract attention, so not every girl dares to wear a skirt made of leather. True, the romantic skirt-sun does not look so bold as a tight mini, so even those who are afraid of bold experiments can try on this option. To create a softer, delicate image, choose models from skin of light shades.
Crochet knit
Those who know how to handle crochet and yarn can knit a sun skirt with their own hands. Openwork models look very beautiful and unusual. In addition, a self-created skirt will surely be one of a kind. So that the knitted skirt does not look too heavy, choose thin threads and loose patterns.
Popular colors
