invention. The fact is that in the old days buttons were an expensive and rare item. The peasant estate could not often afford to purchase them (we do not write about other fasteners, they were not there then). It turns out that the answer to the question of what a sash is is very strange. This is the first clasp that was used so that outerwear does not swing open and expose the body!
Sash: meaning of the word
By origin, it refers to the Turkic language. Translated in its current meaning. That is, the sash is a belt or wide braid. He has no other meaning. But there are many options for sashes. They were used not only for fastening clothes in cold weather. Sashes still served as some decorations, and sometimes pockets. Remember, in literature, a Cossack plugged mittens for a sash? It was there that it was possible to put other small (and not so) things so as not to carry them in the hands. It also housed an ax and other tools necessary for working outside the home in winter.

Some time ago, sashes embroidered or decorated with fringe were in fashion. A kind of return to historical roots. A special chic is a handmade sash. Such can only be done independently or found at personal exhibitions!
