DescriptionAn Americanized woman's kroj comprised of several pieces. It begins with a plain, off-white slip with a v-neck and narrow shoulder straps that is covered by a dress that acts as another petticoat and blouse. The blouse has puffed sleeves that are covered with a small section of brightly colored print fabric bordered by hot pink rick rack. The remainder of the kroj also follows the rick rack theme, as it is on the skirt, apron, vest, and collar. A headwreath of white and pink flowers is the crowning piece of this kroj.
