Antique handmade Romanian folk costume from Transylvania

Presenting a magnificent Romanian traditional costume  consisting of two pieces : Romanian handmade blouse and skirt originating from  Transylvania.

The Romanian blouse, a relic of feminine attire from Transylvania, bears the marks of artisanal mastery on hand-woven linen and cotton canvas. Adorned with cut-out embroidered motifs, this Romanian folk  blouse exudes timeless elegance. Its voluminous sleeves gracefully end into narrow cuffs with colorful hand embroidery. Delicate buttons adorn the chest of the blouse while numerous folds at the back create an A-line silhouette, enhancing its charming allure.

With an impressive age of 60-90 years, this Romanian  blouse remains in remarkable condition, impeccably clean and ready to be worn. Sized S-M, its dimensions are as follows:

Shoulders: 36 cm (14.17 inches)

Distance from shoulders to armpits: 21 cm (8.26 inches)

Sleeve length: 50 cm (19.7 inches)

Chest circumference just below the armpits: 108 cm (42.5 inches), widening significantly towards the base

Shirt length: 53 cm (20.86 inches)

Accompanying this exquisite Romanian  blouse is a skirt adorned with hand-embroidered cross-stitched flowers along its lower hem. Crafted from hand-woven flax-hemp fabric, the skirt is secured around the waist with strings, offering both comfort and style.

Measuring 73 cm (28.74 inches) in length and boasting a maximum waist circumference of 84 cm (33 inches), this skirt exhibits only minimal signs of wear. Embodying the rustic charm and enduring beauty of Transylvanian heritage, this Romanian folk ensemble is a testament to the timeless allure of traditional Romanian attire.
