1. Traditional garments in he South of our country.
The hair combing, the pieces that protected
the head, the caparisons and the accessories were a
mark of the social and material status. The
predominant combing was the one with a single or
two braids let loose on the shoulders, tied together at
their tips with wool lines of different colours and
with polichromic ribbons. Some were brought
together on the apex like a chaplet. They were
adding natural flowers on the hair, coloured pins, a
cam made of bone, brooches with polichromatic
stones and sometimes gold and silver nickels.
The shirts were of two types: the yoke shirt
with “altiţă” and the “zoraclia” shirt. They were
decorated with “bagadele”(lacery), with geometrical
and plant shape elements, with bugles, with
“încreţuri” and “săuri”. They were carried on the
breast, on the collar, on the back and on the bottom
of the shirt. The decoration was realized with specific
folk lacing. Over the shirt, on the waist they wore a
wool belt darned on red background.
