DescriptionA Vojvodina wedding kroj consisting of three petticoats, a skirt, apron, blouse, a pair of slippers, a necklace, several ribbons, and a choice of three different headpieces. Two of the petticoats are made long with flounces attached at the hems. The thrid is short. The skirt is very full and is black in color with a floral print. Its hemline is decorated with lace, rick rack, and ribbons. The apron is black and decorated heavily with floral embroidery, ribbons, rick rack, sequins, and lace. The blouse is made of thin, white fabric that is decorated fairly heavily with floral embroidery and sequins. The slippers are made of red velvet and are decorated with ribbons, rick rack, and stitching. The kroj is accessorized with a necklace of silver beads and several ribbons. Some are tied into bows while some are simply folded. Some are covered with embroidered floral designs and others are painted. The final pieces to this kroj are three different caps. One is a large circular headpiece made of a wire framework that is covered with artificial flowers, as well as mirrors and tiny glass balls. Another is a black cap with a floral print that is accented with an attached panel of ruffled ribbons. The third is a simple white kerchief with a blue floral print.
