"Человек с киноаппаратом" – eng. "Man with a Movie Camera" (1929) is a wonderful documentary that depicts one day in the life of Odessa (USSR) in the 1920s. The film does not have a plot, as is usually written in the description of the film. But if you look closely, one day of the city's life is the plot - from waking up to nightlife. From the point of view of fashion history, there are also some interesting fragments.

Braids and braided hairstyles are the most common hairstyle in the world. The history of braiding is ancient and can take up a whole book. The culture of different nations has its own peculiarities of wearing braids. Men and women braided their hair and endowed it with symbolism. Let's consider women's braided hairstyles in Western fashion in the 14th - 16th centuries.
In the Middle Ages, braids are often present in women's hairstyles, even if we do not see them. Young girls usually wore their hair loose, and married women covered their heads. Braids were hidden under headdresses, veils or accessories. Braids are convenient. Long braided hair can be comfortably and beautifully styled on the head, secured in a hairstyle and will not get tangled.
In the 14th-15th centuries, braids were twisted into rings at the temples. In Italy, during the Early Renaissance, complex hairstyles were made from many braids, jewelry and ribbons, combined with loose strands. A hairstyle of two braids was popular, when the braided hair was raised up and intertwined around the head.

Petticoat is a type of underskirt that is worn over other underskirts and under an overdress (Robe or Gown).
Petticoat comes from the Cotehardie (eng. Kirtle), which is a separate post. Cotehardie e is an underdress that was worn over a chemise, the hem of the skirt was often visible from under the overdress. The sleeves of the Cotehardie became cut off in the 15th century, and in the 16th century the dress itself gradually divided into the Bodice (or Corsage) and the skirt - the Petticoat.
Petticoat was different from other skirts in that it was conceived as a visible part of the costume. Petticoat was more decorated, almost always colored, unlike underskirts and chemises. Often the Petticoat had the same print as the overdress. Poor women wore a petticoat as the only skirt - there was only a chemise underneath. In paintings from the 16th to 18th centuries, you can find tradeswomen, townswomen, peasant women, and servants in a bodice and petticoat on the street. Noble or wealthy ladies always wore an overdress outside the home. If we look at a picture of a costume and do not see a petticoat, it means that the skirt is hidden from our eyes, but it is always there. No one wore an overdress over a chemise, pannier, or crinoline. There was always a petticoat between the layers.
Petticoats were made from different materials. Taffeta and silk were often used. The trim was lace, pleats, jewelry, embroidery, and ribbons. In the cold season, the petticoat was quilted for warmth.
During the Empire fashion (1800s - 1810s), the petticoat was not used. In the 1820s, the petticoat returned to fashion, but it was now hidden under the overdress and only occasionally could the hem be seen. In the 1830s to 1850s, many underskirts and petticoats created a fashionable, full silhouette. When the crinoline appeared, it was worn either with only a petticoat, or perhaps with another underskirt. In the 1870s to 1880s, the visible petticoat returned to fashion. In the 20th century, a petticoat was a petticoat that added volume.
