DescriptionPart of a kroj, a dark red-pink vest with black edging around its unevenly cut bottom edge. The top half of the front is covered with horizontal lines of silver sequins with lavender, red, orange and light green stitching in between. There is also a narrow length of silver cording in the center of all the stitching. All of these decorations extend up the straps and are on a small piece of fabric on the front of the vest. The neckline is lined with silver lace and yellow rick rack. Six or seven holes for lacing run up either side of the front. The sequins, stitching and cording cover the back of the vest. Pink and light green ribbons are laced through gromments in the center of the back.
