WHAT DOES SARAFAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sarafan

Sarafan

A Sarafan is a traditional Russian long, trapeze-shaped jumper dress worn as Russian folk costume by women and girls. Sarafan, along with kokoshnik are purely great Russian outfits and are not known among other Slavic peoples, neither among neighboring Ukrainians or Poles. Sarafan is found however among Finnic peoples, such as Vepses, Komis, Karelians and Finns. Chronicles first mention it under the year 1376, and since that time it was worn well until the 20th century. It is now worn as folk costume for performing Russian folk songs and folk dancing. Plain sarafans are still designed and worn today as a summer-time light dress. It was the dress worn by peasant girls and women in the central and northern part of Russia until the 20th century. Russian women from the upper and middle classes stopped wearing traditional Russian costume in the 18th century, during Peter the Great's modernization of Russia, apart from the kokoshniks as part a court dress. It is now worn as folk costume for performing Russian folk songs and folk dancing.
