DescriptionA navy skirt with a light blue floral print and a red floral print on its wide waistband. The top and bottom of the waistband is bordered with lines of yellow embroidery. The skirt's hemline is finished with groupings of embroidered lines, which are also echoed roughly three inches above the hemline. These lines are green, orange, pink, and yellow stitching. The back of the skirt is tightly pleated and made of a single type of fabric, while the front is not and is made from two different kinds of fabric. The bottom six inches of the front are of the same fabric as the skirt's back, so as to complete the look of the skirt as it will be seen under an apron. Part of a woman's kroj, the skirt is worn over the back of the body.
