The author suggests using specific terms to distinguish reconstructed dresses of various epochs, for example: archaeological, historical, ethnographic reconstructions. Also, the author proposes to name any decoration added to reconstructed dress a replica, meaning a similar artifact made with the help of new technologies and, probably, using new materials and a different scale. The article analyzes articles produced by the Alyoshins’ workshop from Veliky Novgorod as a positive model.

Keywords: archaeological reconstruction, historical reconstruction, ethnographic reconstruction, replica, Old Russian jewelry, Alyoshins’ workshop, Veliky Novgorod
