Skirt

The skirt is made from a machine embroidered cloth with small strips and flowers. The heavier cloth enables the shape to be kept and the lining at the foot of the skirt emphasises the final effect. It is sewn from straight parts and at the waist it is puckered to hand-made pleats.

Apron

White apron, sewn from very fine batiste with rich embroidery of cut out flowers and leafs. At the waist it is puckered to hand-made pleats.

Blouse

It is tailored from white canvas and has very specific design. It is elongated and thus serves also as a small underskirt. At the neck it is quilled into small plaits and in this way it enables the laced bodice to fore. The sleeves are decorated with embroidered linen.

Laced bodice

It is tailored from fine velvet, from one piece according to the old cutting. The cutting is very exceptional because it suits everyone as it can be altered by the ribbon.

Bonnet

It is sewn from white linen and decorated with a double wide bow. It is put on from the back of the head and fastened with two hairgrips. It is not stiffened, and because of this it is suitable for everyone.
