The blouse is white and has cut work, and orange and yellow embroidery on its collar, cuffs, and covering its sleeves. The cream-colored vest is covered with a multi-colored floral brocade. Its front and back are decorated with silver metallic lace. Three white buttons with brass accents run down its front. The petticoat is made of thn, white cotton and has a loosely gathered waist. It has two layers with each layer having some amount of cut work and white embroidery on its lower half. The skirt and and apron are nearly identical, being of black cotton with a high waist that is tightly gathered. A wide band of white floral embroidery lies just above the skirt's hem and the hemline itself is finished with white lace. Applied in between the two are narrow strips of yellow, white, and orange trim. The only difference seen in the apron is that the embroidery, trim, and lace extend up its sides as well. The cap is white and embroidered with yellow, pink, green, and white threading. The face is framed with wolf's teeth edging, which is a protective symbol. A yellow ribbon with floral embroidery is affixed at its nape. The kroj is finished with a choice of two sashes. One is yellow and covered with floral embroidery in gold, blue, and green threading. The other is cream-colored and covered with floral embroidery in pink, yellow, green, and hot pink threading.On View
