This very old traditional dress hails from southern Romania, boasting intricate hand embroidery on fine, delicate, hand-woven fabric. Handmade with red cotton thread, the embroidery adorns the shoulders, cuffs, bust, and neckline, exuding timeless charm. Delicate black embroidery accents the hem, adding a touch of elegance. With a remarkable age of over 80 years, this dress is in remarkably good condition, without a

only minor traces of wear. Sized S-M for an average-height woman, its dimensions are as follows:

Shoulders: 40 cm (15.74 inches)

Shoulder to underarm distance: 20 cm (7.87 inches)

Shoulder + sleeve length: 61 cm (24 inches)

Chest circumference: 118 cm (46.45 inches)

Waist circumference: 128 cm (50 inches)

The Romanian handwoven pair of aprons features a charming floral pattern against a burgundy background. The frontal apron showcases horizontal rows of multicolored flowers, while the back apron displays vertical rows, adding a delightful contrast. Crafted from cotton, these aprons are perfect for summer wear. Despite their age, they are in good condition, showing minimal signs of wear. No tear, stain, or repair is present. However, these handwoven aprons have never been cleaned and require dry cleaning only.

Completing the ensemble is a traditional new belt, adding a finishing touch to this splendid Romanian folk costume.
