An old, collectable, rare costume, Mediaş subarea. Made up of seven pieces, includes: shirt with compact bottoms, dress, front apron and four bows. It is a special set due to the temporal unity of the pieces, the polychromic style in pastel tones reminiscent of the Art Deco period, and the dating of the front lot, with name and year 1937. The blouse is a rare, old piece with attached bottoms, with fine stitching on the rustles of the sleeves or the upper side. The upper part is made of fine, hand-crafted jolj (cotton), with a wide vest at the front and narrow vest at the back, sewn with floral motifs with the tree of life. The dress or sumna (cold season skirt) evokes an old style, is ample, pleated, with flat side in front, where the apron falls. It is made of jacquard cotton fabric with mixed wool, with discrete floral motifs. The front apron is a collector’s item – made of a mixture of silk and thin satin viscose, with mechanically worked perimeter lace, sewn to a silk thread with vegetal-floral motifs, with metal thread inserts, with name and monogram dating 1937. The bows are in a set of threes, bridal, back, front and a head dress - richly sewn to a thread with silk and cotton with vegetal-floral motifs, with local metallic thread - continuing the polychromic style of the apron.
