Belarus is very rich in a variety of national costumes. In total there are 22 variants. The history of each Belarusian women's costume depends on the regions of the country - Dnieper, Central Belarus, Eastern and Western Polesie, Nadvindye and Panemanya. In ancient times, it was easy to determine from what area a person. Belarusian costumes predominantly differed in color, patterns and even ways of wearing individual parts of the costume.
Women's folk Belarusian costumes
The Belarusian women's national costume consisted of several parts - an apron, a skirt (slump), a shirt (kashulya), a belt, a sleeveless jacket and a headpiece . Kashulya wore from linen, homespun cloth. Red or red-black yarns were decorated with sleeves of a suit. The decay was also made of flax and, as a rule, was decorated with a checkered or striped pattern. The apron or apron always harmonized in color and pattern with a shirt.
By the way, the apron was an indicator of not only homeowness, but also that the girl was older. It was accepted that the young girl herself sewed her first apron. As soon as she finished it, she could be accepted by an older company.
Women's Belarusian costumes and dresses were both everyday and festive. Part of the festive costume was a sleeveless shirt or a gorset. It was made only from factory fabrics such as silk, brocade, velvet, and was richly decorated with various stripes.
The belt was woven or woven or knitted. He was always decorated with colored ornaments, often green-white-red.
The headdress was an integral part of the national costume. Married ladies never showed up on people with their heads uncovered. One of the most common options was nametka, which resembled a bandage-rushnyk. A Belarusian girl or woman always supplemented her costume with beads.
Stylized Belarusian folk costume
And to this day in many villages of Belarus you can meet skilled craftsmen who skillfully embroider all that unearthly beauty, which is generously decorated and the current costumes and dresses. True, these patterns are more likely stylized. For the most part, geometric figures are now used, but plant motifs, but the principle of their location on the attire is still the same.
Today it is very fashionable to hold various celebrations in a certain style. Many young couples organize a wedding in the Belarusian style. And the suit of the bride and groom, of course, is the first distinctive sign at the celebration.
The stylized Belarusian female national costume most often differs in the length of the skirt. An important role is played by shoes, fashionable women pick up beautiful boots or shoes that match the costume. And, as a rule, the image does not use traditional headdress. Preference is given to a beautiful hairstyle.
