Such an accessory was even decorated with precious stones. And by the way, in the Nizhny Novgorod region they never wore bast shoes. They preferred attractive boots with small heels, which were covered with a material very reminiscent of our modern shoes. Girls and women from the north of Russia also differed slightly in their outfit from the rest. Their costumes were very restrained and incredibly beautiful. And their main attribute was not only an elegant, but also a practical headdress. He skillfully covered the girl’s hair from the eyes of others. Indeed, in those days it was a very strict custom. Although this headdress was called a kokoshnik, it did not look like an accessory worn by Kostroma girls. The hostess trimmed her headdress with beautiful threads and exquisite pearls.
