Shushun

a short outer garment for women; a felted-fabric or linen jacket formerly worn in northern and, sometimes, central Russia. The shushun narrowed at the waist and sometimes had gathers in the back. The collar, skirts, and sleeves were usually ornamented with braid. In the north the term shushun was also applied to a sarafan (a type of sleeveless dress) made of red calico or linen, with a collar and sleeves that hung down in the back.
