Handcrafted Vintage Romanian Folk Dress with Burgundy Embroidery - Size S-M

Romanian traditional dress, a unique piece from the 1960s, originating from Muntenia. Handcrafted on lightweight commercial fabric, this dress is adorned with detailed geometric patterns and star motifs embroidered in rich burgundy cotton thread. The embroidery beautifully decorates the chest, sleeves, and hemline, where the edges feature a charming burgundy-red pointed hem.

The neckline includes an adjustable drawstring, allowing for a comfortable fit. Designed for size S-M, the dress might appear roomy around the chest and waist; however, its smaller shoulder width and narrow underarm cut make it ideal for petite frames (S-M). Please note, for larger sizes, the fit might feel snug under the arms.
