700 hours of work on the outfit: in Belgorod presented a collection of dresses based on Grayvoron embroidery

A woman since childhood was fond of sewing. She received her knowledge at the Belgorod Industrial College and the specialized online wedding fashion academy.

Today Natalia leads the theater-studio of fashion and design in the Center for cultural development of the village of Golovchino, Grayvoronsky district. Under her leadership, participants from 2023 create unique collections. For example, the project in the Slavic style "Berislava", a collection of stylized girl's sundresses "Vasilis" and headdresses "Maiden's Crown".

Spassky rifle

The source of inspiration for the collection was the past of Grayvoron land.

Previously Golovchino was called Spasskaya Sloboda. The most common motif of embroidery on shirts and ruins was "rude". It's an old name for a rose. The flower symbolized the bride. And this value determined the mood of the collection.

The guests are greeted by an old costume, which, according to experts, is more than 100 years old. As explained by the head of the exposition and exhibition department of the museum of folk culture Elena Voblikova, it consists of a sarafan, belt and shirt, supplemented with a towel, decorated in the technique of “cross”. The inscription on the rush reads: "We wish happiness." He was specially preparing for the wedding, so there are roses in his ornament.
