The Uzbek national costume uniquely combines elements of all traditional dresses of the East. However, it has special characteristics characteristic of Uzbekistan. Over the years, the Uzbek costume has changed a lot; just look at photos of outfits from past centuries and compare them with modern models. But the main idea when sewing and decorating is still based on traditional motifs.

Modern fashion for Uzbek dresses comes from popular designers, who at their shows presented unique outfits in the national traditions of Uzbekistan. Bright colors and a relatively simple cut perfectly emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws of the figure. All models are sewn exclusively from satin, which is pleasant to the touch and ventilates perfectly. These material properties allow you to sew a fashionable summer outfit for the hottest weather.

What to wear with Uzbek dresses - fashionable nuances

In the homeland of dresses, they are usually called kuylak. The style of most models is similar to the popular tunics today. The length of the dress can vary, but most outfits feature a long midi skirt and long sleeves. In the twentieth century, alternative models began to emerge. Costumes consisting of mini tunic dresses and loose pants or bloomers became especially popular. Uzbek designers began to produce models with cuffs and stand-up collars. The beauty of the traditional costume has not left women all over the world indifferent. Especially after the appearance of unique outfits on the catwalks. What to wear with an Uzbek dress:

1. Shoes. A long dress made of natural satin, embroidered with gold threads, goes perfectly with elegant pumps or heeled sandals. But in Uzbekistan it is not customary to wear national dresses with heels. Therefore, if you want to fully convey the entire image, you will have to choose ballet shoes with lots of embroidery, braid and stones.
2. Bag. National costumes themselves are bright and multi-colored, so it is better to choose a plain bag. A medium-sized black leather bag will look good.
3. Decorations. You can choose a beautiful necklace to match the dress or a thin chain with a pendant.

How to sew an Uzbek dress

Despite the fact that outfits in Uzbekistan have changed a little in recent years, the structure of their tailoring has remained almost the same. The standard pattern consists of six parts:

• back;
• sleeves;
• front part of the yoke;
• back of the yoke;
• collar;
• front side of the dress.

When cutting out a yoke, it is important to take into account that you need to make a yoke along with it. This is a lining that will make the collar more elastic and durable, and the shape will hold much better.Any material is suitable for lining the back yoke, but the front one needs to be reinforced only with the main material. With the help of various forms of yoke and collar, Uzbek women diversify their dresses. Velvet, chiffon, alpaca, and satin are used for sewing. National embroidery is made from silver and gold threads. The most common dress is quite simple to sew; it is more difficult to embroider and decorate the outfit.

1. We cut out the patterns: collar, two sleeves, back yoke, front yoke, back and front waist. Carefully lay out the details on the fabric, outline with chalk, taking into account allowances of two centimeters. We cut out each detail along the contour.
2. Initially we sew the front and back parts of the dress.
3. We sew in each sleeve.
4. We assemble the upper part of the product with small folds.
5. We sew it with a yoke, to which the lining should already be sewn.

All that remains is to decorate the outfit. For this you can use other fabrics, gold, silver threads, stones and rhinestones, patterns, embroidery.
