DescriptionPart of a Moravany kroj, a vest made of white satin vest and covered with light blue and green floral embroidery. Silver metallic trim outlines the floral patterns on each side of front opening. The floral embroidery and silver trim is echoed on the back of the vest. A band of white fabric has been added to the bottom of the vest as a means of lengthening it. This was a common practice to extend the life of a garment as its wearer grew in girth.
