DescriptionA Senec kroj consisting of a blouse, vest, collar, two petticoats, skirt, apron, headband, and several sashes. The blouse is white with a gathered neckline and puffed elbow sleeves. Its cuffs are trimmed with white floral lace. A narrow band of white on white embroidery in a vine pattern is stitched down its front. The vest is fitted and in a turquoise blue cotton. It is trimmed with white, machine-made lace around its yoke and down its front. Two curved double rows of lace trim decorate its back side. The collar is made largely of white floral lace. Its top is gathered with a blue ribbon folded into floral designs to decorate. The petticoats are both white cotton with a gathered waist and edged with white bobbin lace. The pleated skirt is in turquoise blue fabric. The apron is in a sheer, white fabric that is trimmed with lace on its sides and bottom. A narrow band of white, floral lace is sewn across its width roughly a quarter of an inch above its hemline. The headband is formed from blue and white ribbons folded together to create floral designs. The kroj is completed with four different ribbons, all of which may have been used as a sash. Three are lengths of pale blue satin and one is cream.
