"Peasant woman's vestment"
Among
all the vestments this is the most attractive due to the predominance of the
red colour and the richness of its embroideries in a perfect combination the
black colour. It is the most desired vestment. It's only used in special occasions.
The red apron, weaved at the weaver's loom, has floral themes, geometrical
or heraldic drawings. The kerchief, in yellow and red shades, is tied at the
top of the head with its extremities withdrawn. The neck cloth is made in
the same shades and drawings of the kerchief. It's placed on the shoulders
and adjust above the chest. The vest is made according to one's personal taste
but there's obviously a connection to the themes shown on the apron. The shirt
is made of white linen and it's embroidered in blue. The pocket they wear
is embroidered with the same themes as the vest. The socks are hand made in
white cotton. The slippers are plane and black. The skirt is made of red wool
with longitudinal black and white stripes and a black doubling. Women wear
some gold around their necks and earrings.
