Russia Cultural Fashion
As a distinct form, Russian traditional clothing started to take shape in the ninth century. Peasants and boyars (noblemen) wore traditional attire until the early 18th century. With his appreciation for everything from Western Europe, Tsar Peter the Great forbade wearing traditional clothing in urban areas in 1700. The richness and beauty of traditional Russian attire were preserved by the Russian peasantry.
The sarafan and the poneva are the two main styles of ethnic clothing worn by Russians. A belted long jumper garment called a sarafan is worn over a long linen shirt. The belt, an essential part of traditional Russian attire, was frequently tucked under the sarafan. Sarafans were created from affordable printed cotton or home-spun linen manufactured in the massive textile factories of
Regions of Moscow, Ivanovo, and Vladimir They could be crafted from brocades and silks for special events and embroidered with gold and silver thread.

The Tula, Voronezh, and Tambov provinces to the south of Moscow were known for their widespread use of the poneva skirt attire. Considered to be the older of the two costumes is the poneva.
