    Description
    This listing is for a woman's folk costume from the Chodsko region of Bohemia in western Czechia. The costume includes a blouse, vest, skirt, apron, and shoulder shawl. The vest and apron are made of green brocade fabric and the skirt is red cloth with a green ribbon around the bottom. The vest is masterfully decorated with sequins and beads and is an impressive piece of regional folk art. The blouse has large puffy sleeves and fastens with glass buttons on the front. The blouse is slightly roomier than the vest so if you are hoping to wear the full ensemble then please use the vest measurements as your guide. Please note that the silhouette of Chodsko costumes features a raised waistline so the skirt might sit slightly higher than a regular skirt depending on your height. You can also take in the sides and/or shoulder straps if you need it to fit a smaller size. Dates to the second half of the 20th century. The skirt is the newest piece and is made of easy-care synthetic fabric that preserves the pleats to make it easy to wear and care for. A fringed shoulder shall completes the ensemble. You may with to add additional garments such as a headdress and other accessories depending on your needs.
    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.
