Hand embroidered old Romanian folk dress with lace

Authentic Traditional Romanian Dress  (Ie) from Oltenia

Exquisite, handmade traditional Romanian dress  from Oltenia, crafted over 50 years ago. This piece is most likely a traditional bridal dress, evident from the delicate lace embroidery adorning the upper part of the dress. Unlike typical crochet, the lace is a fine openwork, created by the artisan through the meticulous process of thread extraction and openwork-style embroidery over the remaining threads.

The intricate openwork embroidery decorates the shoulders, chest, cuffs, and neckline, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship. The hem of the dress is adorned with a row of hand-embroidered multicolored flowers, adding a vibrant touch to the piece. The sleeves are straight-cut, and the chest slit is secured with metal snaps.
