Facts:
Origin: Dresses have been a staple of fashion for centuries. Dresses have a long and varied history, evolving from simple garments to symbols of style and status across cultures. They date back to ancient times, with evidence from places like Egypt. One of the oldest examples of a dress is the Tarkhan Dress, a linen garment from 5.000 year ago or more. Throughout history, dress styles have ranged from simple gowns to complex designs supported by foundation garments. Dresses can be worn for both formal and casual events, and styles vary to suit different occasions. Interestingly, dresses were not always seen as female clothing, with men also wearing them in many cultures. The Victorian era introduced a significant movement aiming to make womenโs clothing more comfortable and practical. In contemporary times, they are available in an array of styles and silhouettes. Ranging from long and mini to fit-and-flare, ball gowns, and A-line designs, there are numerous ways to express oneโs individuality. Over the years, the evolution of dress designs has been remarkable.
