In the old days in Russia, girls and women loved luxurious outfits no less than today. Particular attention was paid to headdresses. They were made from the finest fabrics, decorated with silver and gold embroidery, sequins, beads and pearls. Here are 18 photos of hats worn by women a couple hundred years ago.
In Russian folk costume, a special place was occupied by a female headdress. Looking at it, it was possible to determine from what locality its owner was, how old she was, her social and marital status.
Traditionally, the shape of the Russian folk headdress was combined with a hairstyle. Girls braided a braid, and their headdress most often looked like a dressing or a hoop with an open crown.
Married peasant women braided two braids and rolled them up in a bun in front. The headdress was supposed to completely hide the stripes of a married woman. Traditional women's headdresses in Russian folk costume, as a rule, consisted of several parts.
Kichka is a part of a knitted headdress on a solid base. Kichki were distinguished by a variety of styles. They were horned, hoof-shaped, shovel-shaped, bowler-shaped, in the form of a hoop, an oval, a semi-oval - the fantasy of solutions was limitless.
In Ryazan, Tula, Kaluga, Oryol provinces, as a rule, horned kitsch were worn. In Vologda and Arkhangelsk, there are hoof-like chicks. Recent researchers associate it with the Finno-Ugric ancestors (X-XIII centuries), who had similar headdresses.
Magpie - this was the name of the top decorated headdress. It was made of fabric and stretched over the head. Another element of the puffy headdress is the back plate. It was made of fabric (usually brocade) or beaded. The back plate was tied up at the back under the forty to hide the woman's hair behind the puffs.
The kokoshnik, unlike the magpie, was only a festive headdress, including a wedding one. In the northern provinces, it was often adorned with pearls. If a kichka was worn by peasant women, then merchant women and bourgeois women wore a kokoshnik on their heads.
Kokoshniks were made in monasteries or by craftswomen in large villages and sold at fairs. By the end of the 19th century, the kokoshnik almost completely replaced the kichka, and then the kokoshnik left the arena, giving way to scarves. At first, scarves were tied over the headdress, and later as a separate headdress, either pinned or tied under the chin.

Why were the first Russian sundresses for men, and why the tsar banned this folk costume
"Work carelessly" - the origin of this saying is directly related to the Russian national sundress. A very long outfit that almost completely covers the body was originally far from women's clothing, but men's. The first evidence that the Russian sarafan began to be used by the weaker half appeared only by the beginning of the 17th century. Even Peter I tried to deprive a piece of clothing so beloved by the people of national status. But the sundress survived, and even today, centuries later, this one was
