Well-preservd textiles from cemeteries permit reconstruction
of Latgallian, Sellonians and Liv garments and the whole dress.
Latgallian men wore a shirt, trousers, jaket, belt, cape,
puttees and foorwear.
While the women had linen shirts, wollen shirts, jackets,
puttes and footwear, with woollen shawls and coats as overdresses.
They wore crown-like headdresses.
Couronian, Semigallan and Liv women, by contrast, wore long
dresses fastened at the sholder by pairs of dress-pins or
brooches.
The woollen schawl was the most ornate item of female dress,
dekorated with geometric designs of bronze rings and edged
with card-woven bands and tassels.
From the late 12th century bronze decoration began
to be replaced by glass and tin beads and embrodery with colored
thread.
