In St. Pete & Does Anyone Know Where......

Hi! My husband and I are in St. Pete to meet our daughter, finally!! Does anyone know where to buy a traditional russian costume/dress? We went to the city mall and to the market place by The Church of Spilt Blood but they only had Russian trinket type things. It's Sunday night here, right now, and we will be here til the end of the week. Thanks in advance! This is such an exciting time for us!! : o )

We bought ours in a store on Old Arbat St. in Moscow. It's a very popular street, mostly for tourists. Maybe you can wait until you are there on trip 2 to get the dress.
