Abstract

Based on the analysis of the collection of clothing of the Chuvash National Museum, archival materials, and ethnographic works, the article examines the evolution of the cut of Chuvash traditional pestryadin shirts from the end of the 19 to the middle of the 20 century, which became widespread among the grassroots ethnographic group. The main attention is paid to the cut, which is the most stable element of traditional clothing. Its historical evolution is shown and it is established that by the 1950s and 1960s, the cutting technique approached the modern ones - with a cut-out armhole and a cut-off waist. In narrow-local groups, these changes occurred in different ways. The appendix contains the classification and cut schemes of pestryadin shirts that were common among the Chuvash population during this period.
