Antique Folk Costume Dress with Handwoven Bodice: C20th Slovakia
Item Details.
We have two of these lovely folk costume dresses. From Slovakia we believe these would have been worn with a decorative jacket and full skirt worn over the top of this underdress.
The bodice is made from a handwoven red and cotton panel with tiny details in pale yellow and blue with a medium weight gored linen skirt.
The embroidered blouse and needlepoint bag shown in photos are also available:
