Unique costumes from museum collection were presented in People’s House on threshold of International Women’s Day

At the fashion show, museum employees demonstrated traditional peasant clothing: pinafore dresses, shirts, skirts, aprons, kerchiefs, belts, headdresses and other items of the costumes worn by girls, women and men. Plenty of them were sewn using home-made fabrics. But there were some pinafore dresses sewn of factory-made fabrics; prosperous peasants used to wear them during holidays. Along with the peasant costume that made up a considerable part of the museum folk textile collection, spectators could see women’s town clothes of the early 20th century and remembered the Soviet epoch fashion.
