One of the most widespread kinds of clothes is, of course, a dress – one with a long hem that covers upper part of feet and body. Many years ago, we could see two types of dress: masculine and woman dresses, but during the change of tendencies of masculine and woman clothes, dress became a characteristic exactly for woman cloakroom. Dress has developed from cloaks, which had no forms, to clothes that we wear nowadays.

Dresses started to have some particular form in the 15th century. The first designer of dresses in Kyiv was Nicol Stakhovska. There is a large variety of dresses. The first variant of sewing machine was constructed in 1840. Bartolomeo Timon, a designer of that time, made a machine, which simplified people’s life. It made it possible to enhance the design of clothes and costs of production began to fall, thus the price on creations became far smaller.

Basic changes began to take place starting with 20th century. Dress began to diminish, waist to be brightly selected, fabric covered the bodies of women tightly, doing them more attractive. During the World War II dresses were simplified incredibly as people in that time needed to change almost everything, nobody needed expensive things; almost nobody had money. Designers needed to take it into account as well as a fact that almost all day long women were wearing a form. People were more concerned about The War but not about clothes.

After WW II finished, a fashion industry began to recover as clothed and outlook became important for women again. Designers tried to do clothes bright in order to decorate the sad and grey streets of cities. In 70th the domination subculture were hippie and designers started making dresses with long skirts. Fortunately, today women can choose their own style of dressing and do not have to change the whole wardrobe after every new breathing of fashion.

I am sure that there should be dresses, which pass all senses of festive mood, in the cloakroom of every woman. Every new style of dresses usually starts from celebrities. Their designers always have lots of ideas. Unfortunately, fashion changes so fast that people do not have time and money to buy something new. Nowadays it is possible to think of any design for clothes, which can be ordered for a seamstress. Variety of colors of fabrics and of long duration experience, gives complete freedom to designers. So, for young girl it can be everything.

On the streets, you can see a woman that will look as on a magazine cover. In my opinion, dresses must be in cloakroom of every women.

Below I provide the description of modern dresses:

1. Dress with a jacket. It is a combination of dress and the jacket, such clothes can be dressed as to the business meeting and also for a walk (as for me, such dress looks very beautiful for a business supper).
