A camisola do dia: patrim?nio têxtil da cultura material nupcial (Rio Grande do Sul, do início a meados do século XX)DOI: 10.1590/S0103-21862011000200004 Keywords: clothing, wedding, material culture, orality, cultural heritage, social memory. Abstract: the goal of this article is to study the "camisola do dia" (wedding day nightdress), a piece of the bride's trousseau made especially for the wedding night, used from the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century. as a textile cultural good, we consider it one of the central components of the "wedding material culture", which carries a symbolism linked with the place of women and marriage in modern occidental christian society. our attention is turned both to the know-how (the embroidery technique) and to social memories. we seek to understand its immaterial dimension to reveal the net of meanings that surround it.
