Russian national costume today can be seen not only on thematic holidays. Some girls choose it as a wedding dress, in addition, the national style is often found in everyday clothes.
The History of the Russian National Women's Suit
Russian folk national costume began to take shape in the 12th century. Initially it was worn by the higher and the lower strata of society, but Peter 1 changed everything overnight. The king ordered to change the folk costume to the European one. Boyars and kings could not disobey, especially since they were subjected to particularly strict requirements. Thus, the national costume became the prerogative of the peasantry, whose representatives were not forbidden to wear Russian dress.
The main feature of the original folk costume has always been a multifaceted, straight, slightly flared silhouette and a free cut. The colors of the Russian costume also remained unchanged for centuries - the main one was red-white-blue.
Today there is such a thing as a modern Russian national costume, it can often be seen on girls, but, as a rule, during any events, for example, at a wedding . Of course, it is, in many respects, different from the orders of our great-grandmothers, sewn and embroidered not by hand, does not have those "talking ornaments," but somehow, contains ancient features. Although, if you wish, you can always order or perform an authentically authentic kit.
Elements of Russian national costume
The national costume in different regions and provinces had its own peculiarities. By clothes, you could find out where the woman comes from, what is her age, social status and even how many children she has.
Currently, ethnographers distinguish two main sets of Russian women's costumes:
- a dress code set, which was mostly worn by women in the northern part of Russia;
- a punctilious package inherent in the southern regions of our country.
Ponedevny - an older set, consisted of a shirt and a ponevy - skirts of three cloths, which was worn over a shirt and tied at the waist with a belt. She was puffed up with woolen cloth, she, more often than not, had a checkered pattern. Poneva young girl was bright, with ornaments, a married woman could only wear a calm dark coloring.
A set with a sarafan is the most popular variant of the national costume. Sarafan, by the way, could be deaf, swinging, straight, but in any case, he was worn with an elongated shirt. A suit was made of cotton or linen. Affluent peasants could afford to decorate a set of shower shoes, sewn from velvet or other dense fabric.
Russian national wedding costume was different from everyday, but not conceptually. As a rule, he was simply sewn from silk or brocade and was richer decorated.
Headdress in Russian national costume
One of the important features of the Russian folk costume is the variety of headdresses. Only the young girls could walk with their heads bareheaded. Girls and women were required to leave the house with their heads covered. Girlish dresses were considered bandages, wreaths, scarves. Married women were supposed to wear kicks - "horned hats", on top of which a handkerchief or smart magpie was worn. In the 19th century, the fate of women was alleviated - they were allowed to walk in a scarf or an anvil , but with their hair tucked away.
