DescriptionA kroj from Podluží, Moravia that includes a matching blouse and skirt, an apron, headscarf and two petticoats. The blouse has long sleeves and is made of a burnt orange fabric that is covered with shimmering stripes. Cream-colored bobbin lace runs down either side of its front, around its bottom edge and is at each cuff as well. The skirt is made from the same fabric and has a band of eleven horizontal pleats located roughly four inches from its hemline. Its white apron is covered with a metallic silver, floral brocade. A cream-colored headscarf with two of its sides painted with a beautiful floral design in cream, purples and greens finishes this kroj. It is also accompanied by two starched petticoats. The shorter of the two is light blue fabric covered with a pattern made up of small birds and hearts in dark blue, pink and red. It has a gathered waistband and scalloped hemline. The other is a plain, white petticoat with a band of six horizontal pleats located roughly six inches from the hemline, which is scalloped and decorated with cut work and white embroidery.On View
