• Ritual and ritual – shamanic, wedding.
• Elegant - for holidays and guest visits.

Silver jewelry, expensive fur trim, silk clothes - all this was not available to everyone. The revolutionary events of 917 supplanted this custom.

Costumes were made from cloth, jacquard silk, leather, and rovdug. They were decorated with ornamental inserts, embroidery, beads, and pendants. Most of all, such color was present in the outer national clothing of Yakutia.

Of course, many features of the costume were determined by the polar climate and the main type of activity - herd husbandry and cattle breeding. Therefore, most of the clothing, especially of the poor classes, was made of leather and suede. To insulate the outfit, fur strips were sewn on. Imported silks and woolen fabrics were used as decoration; only rich people could afford them.

Historical reference

Yakuts live in Yakutia and the Krasnodar region. Small national communities live in the Amur region. The Yakuts also live on the territory of Magadan and Sakhalin.

The first national costume appeared in the 18th century.
It consisted of outerwear with natural fur and some decorative elements (embroidery, metal parts). Then coarse fabrics, furs, leather, silk were used .
The Yakuts were mainly engaged in cattle breeding, so they used natural leather, suede and furs for their wardrobe. Usually, short-haired animals were “exploited,” but the fur of long-haired animals was also used for insulation.

Important! Long-haired fur was used for decorative purposes, decorating the collar, cuffs, and the general perimeter of the outfit.

Bodice

First you need to make the top of the dress. The princess costume pattern is very simple. To create it, draw a rectangle. Its width will be equal to the circumference of the princess’s chest, and its length will be equal to the length of the back to the waist. The neckline will depend on the intended model. The neck can be made closed or open. The princess costume can be cut out with a small neckline, on which decorations made of stones and beads will flaunt. For the shoulder seam line along the top line of the rectangle, set aside the “back width” measurement. For a beautiful fit, the shoulder line should be lowered by 1.5 cm.

Next, the chest line is divided into the back, armhole and front. The back area is equal to the “back width” measurement. Armhole = chest volume divided by 4, the remainder transferred to the front shelf. Darts can be made on the side seam as needed.

Draw a smooth line connecting the extreme points of the shoulder seams and the middle. The finished workpiece must be transferred to the fabric. At the same time, do not forget to leave 1.5 cm for seam allowances and finishing seams.

The Adventures of Aladdin

In the debut cartoon "Aladdin" children meet the proud heir to the throne of the kingdom of Agrabah, the beloved daughter of the Sultan, who will soon turn 16 years old. A girl, dreaming of a free life and not wanting to marry without love, ran away from the palace dressed as a poor peasant woman. At the market, due to ignorance of the laws of trade, she tried to feed an apple to a boy, for which she almost lost her hand. But the poor young man Aladdin came to the girl’s aid. So Jasmine got involved in an amazing story, during which she learned what true love is.

The eastern beauty for the time being did not know the name of her savior, until he rushed to her on a magic carpet in the guise of Prince Ali Ababua. A genie from a magic lamp gave him a new look. While traveling over the world, the girl noticed the features of Aladdin in the prince, but the young man never revealed the truth. And Jasmine fell in love.

The treacherous vizier Jafar intervened in fate, becoming the new owner of the lamp. The villain seized power in the state, sent Aladdin to the ends of the Earth, and turned Jasmine into his servant. Brave Aladdin saved both his beloved and the state. The fairy tale, of course, ended with a victory over evil and a complete happy ending: the Sultan, touched by the strong feelings of the couple, changed the law of the kingdom, and now the daughter has the right to marry the chosen one.

Yakutia: territorial location, climate, history, culture

At the moment it is part of the Russian Federation, in the Far Eastern Federal District. The climate there is harsh, northern, with short summers and long winters, during which the air temperature can drop to 50 degrees below zero. This factor explains the use of fur and leather in the costume. As a people, the Yakuts (aka Sakha or Sakhalar) descended from the Tungus, Paleo-Asians, Mongol- and Turkic-speaking nomadic tribes. For this reason, the details of the national costume contain traditional elements of clothing of other nationalities. In ancient times, the Yakuts professed a religion called Aiyy. Even now, their tradition is to celebrate the Ysyakh holiday, where the Aiy Gods are glorified, shamans are present and throat singing is used.

Work on your look together

A DIY princess costume is a wonderful way to spend time with your little one. Let your daughter take part in the process. Entrust her with the simplest tasks - stringing beads on a fishing line, cutting out decorations. This is not difficult to do, but pleasant impressions from joint creativity are guaranteed. The very thought that she created something beautiful with her own hands will be a reason to be proud of herself, to believe in her strength. In the future, the girl will always have a desire to create something, to create something with her own hands.

If your daughter wants to recreate the image of the oriental princess Jasmine from the cartoon "Aladdin", this is also easy to do. The top of the dress can be sewn as described above. For the trousers, you can make a pattern based on your daughter’s sports pants. Turn them inside out, outline them on the fabric, leaving more space for allowances - 10 cm on the sides and 5 cm on the bottom and top. It is better to choose bright, light, oriental-style fabric for a suit. The outfit is complemented with various jewelry, beads, and brooches.

Summer shoes were called terehe and were shortened boots.

Ritual clothing

Among the Yakuts, a special person was responsible for communication with spirits - a shaman. His attire was different from the costumes of ordinary people, and some of its details could have a special ritual meaning. For example, many costumes were decorated with fringe, reminiscent of plumage, along the sleeves and on the back. This design symbolized a bird. By wearing such a costume, the shaman was able to “fly” and communicate with other worlds. In addition to fringes, to identify oneself with a bird, their images were applied to the robe itself and used as pendants. These were mainly loon, crane, eagle and duck. The main material for tailoring was stallion skin with the hair facing out. The shaman's headdress deserves special attention. The material was the skin from the head of a stallion, on which the ears and mane were left. Such a headdress was not decorated in any way; ordinary people could not wear it.

Film adaptations

The Pearl of the East became the heroine of four cartoons and one TV series:

• "Aladdin" (1992)
• "The Return of Jafar" (1994)
• "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" (1996)
• "Follow your dreams" (2007)
• "Aladdin" (animated series, 1994-1995)

The beauty that came to life in the pictures spoke in the voice of Linda Larkin. However, the actress did not intend to apply for this role; she simply showed up for the audition with her friend. But, having become acquainted with the script, I couldn’t resist and also entered the fight for the right to voice such a colorful character. And she won, although she had to change her voice, because the authors of the cartoon considered the girl’s natural timbre to be too high. In the Russian dubbing, the princess is voiced by.

The productions are rich in wonderful musical compositions. In the first cartoon, the songs for Jasmine were performed by singer Lea Salonga, and then Liz Calloway gave the vocals. For Russian children, Anna Pozdnyakova performed the musical parts of the princess.

A significant role was assigned to Jasmine in the debut film, which received two Oscars, and in the film “Follow Your Dreams”; in the rest, the emphasis is still placed on the adventures of Aladdin.

In the 2007 cartoon, the main roles are shared by the oriental princess and from Sleeping Beauty. Here Jasmine, at the behest of her father, becomes an educational adviser and begins work at the Royal Academy. However, the girl turns out to be an unimportant teacher.

Jasmine was also seen in modest roles in the animated series “Hercules” (1998) and “House of Mouse” (2001-2003). The character from the cartoon also came to life in the series “Once Upon a Time” - in season 6, released in 2016, the princess was played by Karen David.

1. One day, Finnish illustrator and designer Jirka Vaatainen thought about what Disney princesses would look like in real life, and drew his favorite heroines as people. It turned out realistic and very beautiful. However, the sultry oriental beauty Jasmine looks too mature in the artist’s works.
2. Jasmine's popularity after the release of the first cartoon still remains high. A lot of computer games and fan fiction are dedicated to the character and her beloved Aladdin, and recently even the porn comic “Princess Jasmine and the False Gossip” was published.
