The album familiarizes the reader with original types of breast garments that were part of the Russian folk costume. The research and illustrative base of the publication is the collection of Russian clothing of the Russian Ethnographic Museum (St. Petersburg). The collections of the REM include items of the 18th - 20th centuries, which were mostly worn by peasants in the Russian North, North-West, Central Russia, southern and south-western regions, the Volga region, the Urals, and Siberia. The structure of the album is based on the regional principle of living in different complexes of Russian traditional costume: South Russian with poneva, Central North Russian with sarafan, single-dress with striped skirt. Each section presents types of breast garments characterized by different cut and decoration. The album demonstrates to the maximum extent possible the variety of materials used for sewing and finishing of breast garments: homespun materials made of wool and linen, cloth, various silk and cotton fabrics, as well as ribbons, braid, lace, cords, bunting, glass (buttons), metal (sequins), metallized thread (and also fringe made of it), etc. The majority of items are published for the first time. Most of the items are published for the first time. The appendix contains schemes of cutting, weaving and embroidery of authentic museum samples.
