Parazona

Parazona is a type of decorative collar on a dress in the 17th - 18th centuries, which was woven from colored ribbons or silk yarn. Parazona gets its name from the Italian word "paracuta", which means lace.

Parazona was quite popular in Europe and spread to all parts of the world. In other languages, the name "parazone" may sound slightly different: bravassa in Italy, parca in Poland, goubelle in Portugal, or outside Europe - blower in British India. At the same time, in terms of style, cut and color, such a ribbon looked the same everywhere. Feeling
