Wedding sundress
A bit of history
The traditional wedding dress in Ancient Russia - a luxurious and expensive attire, was intended to show the groom that the bride is a skillful needlewoman and a good hostess. The scarlet, crimson or cherry outfit, a symbol of joy and love, was decorated with embroidered ornaments. There was a belief that the patterns embroidered on the clothes protect from the evil eye. Sundress pointed out from which edge the bride, and, of course, served as evidence of the welfare of parents. The most luxurious outfit, decorated with gold embroidery, precious stones and beads, could reach a weight of 10 kg.
A dress passed down from generation to generation could consist of a sundress, a shirt and petticoats, a kokoshnik and expensive bridal jewelry. The sleeve of the shirt, according to the rite, was very lush, since the bride and the groom should not touch each other with their bare hands. Before the wedding, the bride was dressed in a modest sundress, and only then put on a red outfit - a symbol of a new life.
