DescriptionPart of a woman's kroj, this white apron is virtually covered with white and pastel pink embroidery. A strip of satin-like, white fabric with a white floral print extends across the waistband and half way down each side of the apron. The apron is divided into sections by a few pleats that begin at the waistband and run to the hem. The top half of the apron has three panels of pink and white embroidery, in geometric patterns, stitched on the pleats. The bottom half of the arpon is covered with wide bands of pink and white embroidery and cutout work in heart and geometric shapes. A short white fringe finishes the hemline.
