The vest is in peach-pink silk with blue silk insert on its front, back, and sides. The inserts are trimmed with sequins and metallic cording. The white cotton (or linen) petticoat has off-white crochet lace trim along its hemline. It is gathered at the waist and heavily starched. The pleated skirt is red with vertical stripes of orange floral ribbon throughout. The waistband is embroidered with red threading, its bottom edge lined with sequins. The apron is made of shiny, black cotton. Its hemline is trimmed with bobbin lace. Two bands of colorful floral embroidery are stitched above the lace. The kroj's sash rings the finishing touch. It is peach-colored and covered with floral embroidery in blue, pink, and green.Credit Linegiven in memory of Barbara Ann Kotras (donor's daughter, now deceased
