All exhibits are united by saturated colour, character of decoration and breed. But at the same time each region, it is frequent even district, had the features.

Skilled workers of the Velikiy Ustuge town of the Vologda region made the costumes especially decorative. Pearls of museum collection are two unique costumes of 1870s years come from Solvychegodsk district of the Vologda province. It is the yellow costume with boldly embroidered female figures reminding fur-trees. Colour scale of the costume very bright: on the yellow background - scarlet, dark blue, red, green and blue stains of figures, on the apron hem there is a wide decorative frieze, and the scarlet frill from a woollen factory fabric finishes costume furnish.
The second costume newly married of Solvychegodsk district is similar in a set of details to described above one, and close on breed, slightly differing in details. Traditional for country clothes contrasting red and white colours prevail, however, in its colour solution. In the pattern of the bib are images of the female figures having genital symbolics and reflecting representations of ancient Slavs about a pagan deity - Mokosha. The winter celebratory female costume included a sound fur coat, usually from a sheepskin. For a cold season was peasant broadcloth, or cloth caftan. Such costume of the Nikolsky district of the Vologda province consists of peasant broadcloth, shirts, the sundress, the belt and a woollen shawl.

One of the best in the country of collections of wedding South Russian costumes is stored in Sergiev-Posad museum. The maiden dress from the Tambov province consists of a shirt, homespun woollen skirt, short breast clothes – “shushpan” and a headdress. Researchers of an Old Russian costume consider homespun woollen skirt as the most ancient type of lady's wear. The marriageable girl from Skopinsk district of the Ryazan province wore the special dress in which colour scale the dominant role was played by white colour of a homespun woollen or linen cloth.
Such costume usually decorated neck and breast ornament. The costume of Kadomsky district of the Ryazan region instead of “shushpan” has “navershnick” - a sleeveless jacket which dressed on over a shirt and homespun woollen skirt. Its furnish is extraordinary rich: on a white background of a canvas red strips woven pattern, an insert of a red calico and colour wattled laces.
In a female costume of the Penza region admires unusual chinure, sonority of a colour score and a maximum richness of colour, where bright greens mark out near to traditional red colour, enriching costume scale. Weaving on the Penza costume excel by thin worked ornament with very archaic motives.

Lady's wears of the Voronezh earth are harmonious. So the strips of black embroidery executed in good style and skill are imposed on a white canvas and an apron in a costume of a newly married shirt. To a costume the wide colourful woven belt and an original necklace from a wattled cord with the circles, called “gribatkha”, relied. The head was decorated by the closed headdress - "sorokha". The linen shirt for the groom was embroidered in pair to a wedding female costume. Everyday sundresses made of homespun coarse motley or heel-taps in the Tver province.
The Kalinin’s linen white clothes with a shirt which named “nasova”, have kept ancient traditions of breed and furnish. The shirt collar is decorated by a red chintz. In some places of the South of Russia the sundress is not only maiden, but also lady's wear. In Kursk province a wedding costume consisted of a shirt, a sundress-fur coat from scarlet damask, an apron one or several belts, a headdress and breast ornaments. Man's wedding costumes did not differ a variety. It consisted of velveteen cloth or linen trousers and a bright silk or sateen shirt.
