Let us have a look at antique embroidery patterns, which decorated an upper part of stockings (boothose) and a bottom part of bloomers. An interesting piece of clothing appeared in 15 century — boothose (Eng. boot, hose). It was a long stocking up to a knee. It was worn over a thin stocking like a cover, at first, its purpose was to protect expensive stockings from being worn-out. After 16-17 centuries, it became a separate piece of clothing. The top of a boothose was decorated with rich embroidery that was lowered to a boot.
The embroidery on given garments was needlepointed with threads and metallic threads that were on all the cloth (coaching) and tightened by metallized woven cords. These metallic threads consisted of silk core tightly braided with metallic thread. Where the thread is rubbed, we may see a silk core.

The edge of the clothing is decorated with colorful fringe of cords, woven from threads, which were used in embroidery as well. Therefore, a single color scheme was created.

Embroidered ornaments and patterns represented flora and fauna. Usually, flowers, leaves, branches and fruits, birds and sometimes animals were pictured on clothes.

The ornament on the boothose has a symmetric pattern, though there is no symmetry in the color scheme. We may see that the birds are upside down to turn up the pattern and lower in on the boot.
