Item Details.
An extraordinary smocked underdress, party of a traditional Folk Costume from Slovakia.

This dress would have been worn under a bodice, blouse with decorative embroidered sleeves and a decorative apron.

The dress has amazing pleating and could be worn today just as it is from a funky look.

Dyed indigo blue, we are not sure if this is original or if it was dyed at a later point in its history as we’ve only ever seen these in white previously.

Fine embroidered blouse is also available: https://hannahwhyman.co.uk/collections/costume/products/fine-silk-embroidered-folk-costume-blouse-c1920-eastern-europe-1

Measurements taken with garment laying flat.

Across front: 38cm
Length: 100cm


Condition. In good antique condition with some fraying around the top edges. All of our items are antique and so small flaws, signs of wear and a patina of age are to be expected and are part of the garments story and history.
