The history of costumes with feathers can begin with the birth of the first person on Earth. But usually we associate feather decor with Indians, and Europeans in the era of geographical discoveries supported this idea. It is difficult to imagine dresses of the noble and wealthy without luxurious decorative elements.
Everyone, from kings and nobles, and ending with the king's soldiers, loved to decorate themselves with feathers. Feathers were present in almost all military uniforms of different countries. Wouldn't you feel like an eagle if the feathers of an eagle become your adornment? They loved feathers of peacocks, flamingos, pheasants, herons and, of course, the ostrich.
In many costumes, headdresses were adorned with feathers. For example, in the 19th century, feather décor in hats, one might say, reached its climax. And in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, without a huge feather boa or even an outfit completely decorated with feathers, it was impossible to imagine a single cabaret actress, and later a silent movie.
