This book examines in detail the Russian sarafan costume as one of the key symbols of traditional culture. Using examples from the State Hermitage Museum collection, it traces the history of the sarafan's use across various local traditions and social classes. It examines the changes it has undergone over time as a result of historical and cultural events, and highlights the features that allow for the unification of garments with different cuts and trims into a single archetype. The authors have systematized information on the cut, place, time, and circumstances of the sarafan costume's creation. The publication also offers an insight into the history of court and masquerade costumes with Russian elements and introduces the work of contemporary designers from the Hermitage collection. In the practical section, art restorer T. V. Grunina-Shkvarok describes in detail the technology for reconstructing historical clothing.
