exhibition in the Traditional Livonian Clothing

This section of the virtual exhibition features main garments of Livonian dress from the collections of the National Museum of Finland and the Estonian National Museum.

From these garments, it is possible to assemble a basic set of traditional Livonian women’s clothing (from the 1840s–1860s) and a corresponding set of men’s clothing dating to the late 19th century. To complete the outfits, headgear, footwear, and other accessories are required—these can be explored in the following sections of the virtual exhibition.

The artefacts here are arranged so that the women’s garments appear first: shirts, bodice, jacket, skirts, aprons, and shoulder shawls. The exhibition also includes fragments of women’s skirts and shoulder shawls, which provide a basis for reconstructing complete garments.

The clothing items shown here do not all date from the same period and therefore represent different stages in the development of Livonian dress. For example, most of the skirts belong to clothing sets typical of the 1840s–1860s, while the women's jacket, as well as the men's waistcoat and jacket—each sewn from black woollen fabric—date to the late 19th or early 20th century, by which time traditional dress had largely disappeared from everyday use. The women’s shoulder shawls also illustrate a range of development stages: the oldest are natural white rectangular woollen shawls, while the square-shaped shoulder scarves date to the end of the 19th century.

The red jacquard bodice is stylistically similar to one depicted in the materials from the 1846 ethnographic expedition by the artist Pezold, allowing us to date this bodice to the 1840s. The traditional Livonian women’s outfit also included an apron; two examples of white aprons typical of festive dress are presented here. It is also worth noting that the women’s shirts are constructed from two types of fabric, with the upper section sewn to a lower part made of coarser cloth. These long shirts likely extended below the wearer’s knees.

These are followed by men’s garments: shirts, vest or waistcoat, and short coat or jacket. The men's waistcoat and jacket—both sewn from black woollen fabric—date to the late 19th or early 20th century, by which time traditional dress had largely disappeared from everyday use. These garments were made by professional tailors, while linen shirts for men were still usually sewn by women at home. As a result, the shirts preserved their older traditional form and sewing techniques.
