Uvsichers

Uvsichers are a type of traditional Russian folk costume, primarily worn by women in the Ural region. The term "uvsicher" is derived from the Russian word "uvsich", which means "to wrap". These costumes are characterized by their simplicity and practicality, designed to be worn in cold weather and during agricultural work. The uvsicher typically consists of a long, loose-fitting dress made of wool or linen, often decorated with embroidery or appliqué. The dress is usually worn with a belt and a long apron, which can be used to carry tools or other items. The head is covered with a kerchief or a cap, and the feet are protected by wooden clogs or leather boots. The uvsicher is an important part of Russian cultural heritage, and it is often worn during festivals and other traditional events. Today, the uvsicher is still worn by some women in the Ural region, but it is also popular among tourists and enthusiasts of traditional Russian clothing.
