DescriptionA kroj from Bohemia consisting of a blouse and vest, skirt, and apron. The sheer, white blouse has puffed sleeves. White lace runs around its cuffs and neckline, which are all drawstring. Red ribbons tied into bows decorate each cuff. The dull red velvet vest has eight grommets on each side of its front for lacing with gold ribbon. Gold cording runs around the vest's bottom edge, arms and neckline. A line of gold sequins mirrors the path around the neckline and bottom. A length of brighter gold cording is affixed to the back in a heart shape. Its mint green skirt is covered with a floral brocade and has hints of gold threading running throughout. Three lengths of ribbon sewn across its bottom, beginning roughly four and a half inches from the hemline. The bottom ribbon is white with hot pink and mustard yellow floral embroidery. The remaining two ribbons are dark mint green and silver, both with pink, blue and green floral embroidery. Its white lace apron has a satin waistband and its bottom edge is scalloped.
