Folk Costume in Russia

What did men and women wear in Russia? How could one discern a person's age and marital status by their clothing? Why did peasant women wear a ponova, while nobles flaunted in high-headed hats?

The book will tell about our ancestors' outfits — from simple linen shirts to rich fur coats. You will learn who wore sarafans in ancient times, why married women wore horned kikis, and what secrets the protective comb held. Also — which boots were called saffian, how a summer shoe differed from a cortel, and why the collars of shirts were adorned with embroidery.
