Russian costumes differ a lot from each other. Each province had its own traditional costume. For example, black embroidery was traditional for the Belgorod Region (southern Russia), whereas costumes of peasant women in the Ryazan Region (central Russia) were embroidered mostly with red.
The bride made for herself a shirt from bleached flax with embroidered sleeves and a ponyova (wrap-up) skirt of finely spun wool yarn with a sophisticated embroidered pattern.
Shirts of this kind were worn in the northernVologoda Region. The festive clothing was decorated with rich embroidery. The shirts were not used while working, but only on special occasions.
In northern regions women wore sarafans. The sleeves of the shirt were embroidered with roses, the hem was decorated with different symbols and charms woven with red threads.
