DescriptionA woman's kroj that includes a blouse and vest, petticoat, shirt and apron, cap and sash. The blouse is white with puffed sleeves and wide cuffs that are covered with black and white cut work and embroidery in floral and geometric designs. The cuffs are finished with wide, black lace. A band of dark grey and white machine embroidered ribbon runs around the collar with black stitching finishing its top edge. Floral embroidery in black threading runs down the blouse's placket. The red silk vest has cream-colored inserts that are covered with colorful floral designs. Red and silver cording lines every seam between the two fabrics. The cording also outlines three circles across the back of the vest that are each filled with a large, embroidered flower in hot pink, ecru and green threading. There are five gold buttons on the left side of the front with matching holes on the right. The kroj's petticoat is white with a gathered waistline. Its bottom nine inches are covered with floral cut work and embroidery, and finished with a scalloped hemline. The skirt is red with ecru stripes woven in. The stripes alternate between a wide line that features small flowers and a thin ecru line outlined in black. A band of wide, machine embroidered ribbon is affixed around the waistband, along with pink and silver sequinned cording. Its black apron has three rows of embroidery across its waistband and a wide band of bobbin lace around its hemline. Its lower half is covered with floral embroidery in red, ecru, teal, pale blue, pale green, tan, orange, pink and black threading. A narrow line of lace and embroidery runs up its center. The kroj's white cap is covered with red and dark mauve floral embroidery accented with silver sequins and colorful beads. A row of the same seqins and beads runs across the top of the embroidery, along with wide cording that features mustard rick rack and gold sequins. White lace decorated with silver sequins and colorful beads frames the face. A circle formed by identical floral embroidery with sequins and beads is on the back of the cap. Finally, the kroj is finished with a dark yellow sash covered with an abstract floral print in orange and green.On View
