The first association that occurs when mentioning Russian national women's clothing is a red sarafan in the floor or a dress with a loose cut sleeveless. Under the top of the outfit, a shirt was worn, preferably white. To betray the image of some elegance, the clothes were decorated with embroideries, rims and pearls.
On this "kit" did not end. It was supplemented by wide belts: black, red, sometimes colorful. A strict framework in terms of accessories was not put. Russian girls in national clothes could not do without aprons. Despite the financial situation of the family, every girl, town woman or peasant woman, had to have a sundress . He was sewn independently from a coarser fabric or ordered by order of the finest white linen. Before the appearance of such a dress in the national dress of the Russian people, a female "suit" with a skirt (ponevoy) was considered to be widespread.
Inimitable accents in women's clothing of Russian fashion
Peasant women's apparels were considered cheap enough at the time. Now they are much more interested in art than urban sarafans. The combination of lace inserts with rough fabrics looks quite unusual, the game of colors is amazing. Folk motifs "wove" in a manner of cut. It seemed that the cheaper the cloth, the more carefully and scrupulously was the embroidery. Simplicity of the material was compensated by lace and beads. The most common materials for the products were hemp, cotton, linen and wool.
To traditions in national Russian clothes it is necessary to carry straightness of cut. The lines usually smoothly fall, the sleeves are magnificent, the dress itself was usually the length of the floor. The material used was a homespun cloth or thin white linen (not every woman could afford it). A characteristic feature of women's clothing was its multilayeredness. Patterns, embroidery and their location deserve special praise.
The outfits of the city dwellers looked richer and at times were distinguished by modesty in decoration. It was more about outerwear than long sarafans: coats and jackets were quite strict.
National clothes in modern fashion
Of course, on city streets now you will not see the girl dressed completely in Russian traditions. So now you will not see someone in the real bast shoes . Some national motives are nevertheless traced in the works of modern designers. In recent years, girls are especially feminine. They prefer long dresses and sarafans. Preferred bright outfits with strips of beads. Embroideries surprise with their pattern, like many years ago. Fabrics have become lighter, but straightness of cut is often present. Some of the modern dresses and sarafans have not become so multilayered, but many designers again begin to play with the volume and shape of the sleeves.
Women's love for accessories is always relevant - like hundreds of years ago, and today. The latest trends are reminiscent of the ornaments that were present in Russian national clothes for women. We see shirts, collars, jackets, some of which are embroidered with beads, decorated with appliqués. Belts that emphasize the waist over dresses and sarafans are extremely popular in 2014. They can be made of textiles, leather. Wide or thin, long or short, they favorably put emphasis on the waist of the fashionista.
As for the accessories, the Russian girls always treated carefully to their choice. They carefully selected them in color and size. Beads and bracelets of those years - it's a kind of classic in costume jewelry. And today we often see such ornaments on the necks and wrists of women, girls and girls.
