DescriptionA Piešt’any kroj consisting of a shirt, vest, and a choice of two pairs of pants. The shirt is white with white embroidered cut work at the shoulders, cuffs, neck, and placket. White ties hang from neckline, each with cut work and light blue embroidery at its end. The vest is made of a green damask with a strip of plain green fabric around its bottom edge. Its front is trimmed with wide, gold sequin cording and a series of loops created with black cording. A length of blue cording laces through the loops. The back of the vest is also trimmed with wide, gold sequin cording. The two pairs of pants are nearly identical. Both are made of wool and are decorated with cording twisted into scrolling designs and affixed on the fronts and thighs. However, the color combinations differ slightly. One is light blue wool with dark blue cording. The other is navy wool with black cording.
