DescriptionA kroj consisting of a blouse, jumper, apron and shawl. The white blouse has elbow-length puffed sleeves. It has a gathered collar and cuffs, both of which are decorated with dark burgundy floral and geometric embroidery. There are white ties at its neckline. Over it, is a black jumper covered with an orange floral print. Ecru stitching runs around its neckline and down its front, as well as around its arms and the bottom of its skirt. Six loops of pink floral print fabric run down either side of its front opening. The back and sides of the skirt are heavily pleated. The black apron is pleated and has black lace across its bottom and up either side. Two lines of hot pink stitching run across its bottom edge. A few similar lines run across the top and bottom of its waistband, along with dark blue rick rack stitching. Lengths of wide, dark blue ribbon are sewn on either side of the waistband to act as both ties and a sash. Both ribbons are covered with red, yellow, burgundy and white flowers, as well as green leaves. Finally, its black shawl is covered with a brightly colored print featuring a variety of different fruits amongst green leaves. It has a wide border design with a small repeating one throughout the shawl's center. Black yarn fringe runs around all of its sides.On View
