DescriptionA female doll dressed in a traditional kroj. Her white blouse has puffed sleeves with wide cut work lace and orange embroidery at each cuff. She has a matching, but separate, collar. Her light yellow-green and red brocade vest is decorated with floral embroidery, green and brown inserts and metallic gold cording. She wears a black pleated skirt. Her apron is a dark mauve, pink and white print with white lace around its hemline and yellow machine embroidered ribbon affixed just above. The ribbon and lace go up both sides, and the ribbon acts as ties as well. Her yellow sash matches the ribbon on the apron and is actually sewn to the bottom of the blouse. Black leather ankle boots are on her feet with black knit knee socks. Each sock has pink floral embroidery on its front. She wears a white petticoat and underpants with cut work lace. There is a navy and dark mauve ribbon with repeating embroidered floral design tied around her head.
