The black velvet vest is decoratived with black cording around its neckline, down its front, and across to its back. A silky band of black fabric is sewn across the bottom two inches or so of the vest. Dark blue piping lies between it and the black cording. The dark purple skirt is heavily pleated and has three narrow bands of a silky, black fabric are affixed around its bottom, roughly two and a half inches from the hemline.

The kroj is completed with a white cap covered heavily with embroidery. The embroidery is geometric in design and in purple/maroon, blue, yellow, black, orange, red, green, and white threading. It ties with a thick, white drawstring that helps give it shape when worn.On View
