Description
This listing is for a traditional folk costume blouse and vest from the Detva region of Slovakia. The blouse is made from cotton and features stunning openwork tambour embroidery on the sleeves. Comes together with a small black vest with floral ribbon trim. These garments are the traditional short style that were traditionally worn with an additional undergarment that covered the midsection. The embroidery is clean and bright and will be sure to turn heads! I have provided some basic measurements above, but due to the wide cut of the blouse it is difficult to measure or suggest a size as it will fit a wide range.
A note regarding condition: All of the costumes and textiles that I sell are vintage and have typically seen decades of use resulting in expected wear and tear that add to the history and authenticity of each piece. In case of above average wear, I try to list any significant damages and heavy signs of use in the above description. Depending on the age, materials, and condition, I will often hand-wash more durable, colorfast cotton and linen elements, but embellished garments, heavier wool pieces or items made from silk or fine fabrics are sold in the original, unwashed condition. Small holes or stains, missing sequins/beads, worn trim, and other marks related to standard wear are common and do not detract from the value of most pieces. Please keep in mind that a vintage textile or garment in very good condition might still show signs of use, storage and age. Unless otherwise noted, all of the items listed for sale are in very good, stable condition and are suitable for use, wear or display. I am more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have, so please ask questions to allow me to offer you the best service possible. I stand behind every item I sell and want you to be happy with your purchase.

If you are interested in receiving a discount for combined shipping, please wait for a combined invoice from us. I cannot offer discounted shipping on items that are paid for on PayPal individually.
