ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Traditional woman's embroidered blouse from the Saris region of eastern Slovakia. These blouses were worn in a large number of villages throughout the region, by both Rusyns and Slovaks alike. The body is made of homespun linen and the sleeves are cotton as they would have been the only thing visible when worn with the full folk costume. Cotton was expensive so it was only used were it would have been seen. Embroidered with flowers on the cuffs and decorated with cotton eyelet trim. The last photo shows this type of blouse worn with the full costume.
Measurements are approximate and taken with article(s) laying flat:
Across front: approx. 20" between underarms
Length: 23" down middle of back
CONDITION: Very good condition with minimal signs of age/use. Freshly laundered by hand and ready to wear.
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 will mention any significant damages and heavy signs of use. Depending on the age, materials, and condition, I often hand-wash more durable, colorfast cotton and linen textiles, 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.
Not sure about the condition? Need more photos? Sure! Etsy allows up to 10 photos online, but I often have more images available so please send an e-mail request for more.
I am located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) and local shoppers are invited to view or try on items in person before buying. Many other garments are available so please don't hesitate to email your specific requests. For consulting services in ethnographic textile care, collection management, storage, exhibition, and preservation, search the web for ELLIS ISLAND VINTAGE.
Anything else? Please ask. I stand behind every item I sell and want you to be happy with your purchase. Thank you for visiting my shop!
