DescriptionA Paderovce kroj consisting of a blouse, vest, petticoat, skirt, and apron. The blouse is made of white cotton. Its sleeves are decorated with cut work and gold embroidery. Blue satin is attached to each sleeve beneath the cut work so it can be seen through. The cuffs are embellished with pale blue ribbon, gold ribbons and embroidery, and white lace. The green vest is covered with a multi-colored brocade. Four black yarn "frogs" run down its front. The back is decorated with silver metallic trim. At some point, the vest was made larger with strips of a darker green fabric at its shoulders and green velvet around its bottom. The heavily starched petticoat is in white cotton or linen. Its hemline is finished with crochet lace. The dark brown and gold skirt is tightly pleated. Dark blue lace trim is applied near the hem. It is lined with a stiff, white gauze. The apron is made of shiny, black fabric with small black flecks.
