Bitola region |
|
|
|
|
The Mariovo Men's Dress is made of white linen
similar to the Valley Dress of the Prilep
valley, and makes a unit with it. It is made of handwoven linen, white or black
broadcloth, richly decorated with embroidery and various other decorations. Some
elements of the old Slav costume have been
preserved in it, for example
the "aba", smock, leggins, valanka, etc. The costume is composed of:
- "Aba",
an undershirt made of handwoven folkweave woolen material called "aba"
- Smock
of thick handwoven linen, embroidered on the front, sleeves, and skirt.
- False
cuffs, woolen knitted sleeves worn on the arms
below the elbow. The wristbands are decorated with "sopci" i.e. half hexagons
or octagons.
- Breeces
of white broadcloth which have a special cut.
- "Kemer", a griddle of twilled flame -
colored wool with strips and "eyelashes".
- Black
broadcloth waistcoat, ornamented with flame
colored trimmings. The front is embroidered and decorated with multicolored
buttons.
- Socks,
knitted from white wool, decorated with natural patterns, net, ribbing, pearl
stitch, and amulet, a triangular shape with spots in it.
- Garters,
folkweave and stripped, decorated with "eyeslashes". These fasten the socks.
- Slippers
with straps, made of cowhide by a shoemaker.
- Cap
of black astrakhan and velvet, made by a tailor.
