Vintage Romanian Traditional Blouse with Beadwork – Over 50 Years Old

This stunning vintage Romanian blouse is a rare and authentic piece, handcrafted over 50 years ago in the Mureș region of Transylvania. Made from a fine, lightweight cotton fabric, the blouse is adorned with intricate beadwork on the chest and cuffs, showcasing traditional floral and folk patterns.

The blouse features a delicate handmade lace hem, created using the traditional “netting” technique (“pe retea”), adding a refined, feminine touch. Its hourglass cut – the narrowest point just below the armpits – reflects the classic structure of old Romanian blouses.

In exceptionally good condition for its age, this piece is ready to wear and perfect for collectors, vintage fashion enthusiasts, or cultural events.
