  Russian women, even simple peasant women, were rare fashionistas. They were especially fond of headdresses - simple, for every day, and festive ones, embroidered with beads and decorated with semi-precious stones. The national costume, its cut and ornamentation were influenced by such factors as geographic location, climate, and the main occupation in the region.

  The shirt
  An ankle-length shirt is the main element of Russian costume. It could be made of cotton, linen, silk, kissey or plain canvas. Hems, sleeves and collar of the shirt, and sometimes the breast part was decorated with embroidery, braid, patterns. Colours and ornaments varied depending on the region and province. The shirts were different, depending on what work was to be done.

  Sarafan
  The sarafan was usually in the form of a trapeze silhouette, worn over a shirt. At first it was a purely masculine garment, but later it gained a foothold in women's wardrobe. There were several types of sundresses: winged, winged, straight. Wide sundresses were sewed of two panels, which were connected with beautiful buttons or clasps. Straight sundress was fastened on the straps. The most common colours and shades for sundresses were blue, green, red, blue and dark cherry. Festive and wedding clothes were sewed mainly from brocade or silk, and everyday clothes were made of coarse cloth or chintz.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

  Poneva
  The ponewa, a baggy skirt, was a must-have item in a married woman's wardrobe. The ponewa consisted of three panels and could be either closed or unclipped. As a rule, its length depended on the length of a woman's shirt. The hem was decorated with patterns and embroidery. The ponewa was most often made of half-woolen fabric with checks.

  Belt
  In Russia it was customary for a woman's undershirt to always be cinched. Walking without one was considered a great sin. Wool, linen or cotton belts were crocheted or woven. The yellow-red belt made of woolen cloth with braid and ribbons was wrapped on holidays.

  Apron
  The apron not only protected clothes from pollution, but also decorated the festive attire, giving it a finished and monumental look. The apron was worn over a shirt, sundress and ponewa. It was decorated with patterns, silk ribbons and finishing inserts; the edge was decorated with lace and ruffles.

  Headgear
  Headwear depended on age and marital status. Maiden headdresses left part of the hair exposed and were fairly simple: ribbons, headbands, hoops, tracery wreaths, and scarves folded in a bundle.Married women had to cover their hair completely with a headdress. After the birth of the firstborn they put on a horny headdress or a tall spade-like headdress - a symbol of fertility and childbearing capacity. The kokoshnik was the ceremonial headdress of a married woman.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

  Clothes could be used to determine the age of the wearer. The brightest clothes were worn by young girls before the birth of a child. The costumes of children and the elderly were of a modest palette.
  Women's costume was full of patterns. People, animals, birds, plants and geometric figures were weaved into ornamentation. Solar signs, circles, crosses, rhombic figures, deer and birds prevailed.
