Traditional Romanian clothing from Transylvania , antique Romanian folk wear

Ancient Romanian folk costume from Transylvania, representing the distinctive folklore of the Arad region, comprises two meticulously crafted components: a handcrafted Romanian skirt and a handcrafted Romanian blouse.

Both pieces showcase intricate handmade embroidery, with the traditional shirt boasting hand-embroidery on the shoulders in the characteristic style of the Arad region. Additionally, the antique peasant shirt features delicate embroidery on the sleeves, shoulders, and cuffs, executed with beige thread. The neck exhibits precise blue stitches, complemented by old blue glass buttons, while the cuffs terminate with graceful laces.

Designed to fit S-M measurements, the shirt has been thoughtfully augmented with extra fabric under the arms for enhanced comfort. However, due to its narrow collar, it remains best suited for S-M sizes. The specific dimensions are as follows:

Shoulders: 34 cm (13.38 inches)

Neck: 33 cm or 13 inches

Sleeve length: 52 cm or 20.47 inches

Chest circumference: 140 cm or 55 inches

Shirt length: 51 cm or 20 inches

The Romanian traditional skirt is a high-waisted garment adorned with vibrant embroidery and a delicate row of yellow-thread embroidery along the hem. Featuring a charming hand-crocheted lace, the skirt fastens securely with a lace at the waist.

The waist measurement is 79 cm or 31.1 inches, suitable for a waist slightly smaller than 79 cm due to the necessary overlap. The skirt has a length of 81 cm or 31.88 inches.

With an age ranging from 60 to 80 years, both pieces are remarkably well-preserved, displaying only inherent signs of wear expected from an item of this vintage. A captivating addition for collectors or museums, this ensemble is not only aesthetically pleasing but also ready to be worn.
