Long cream blouse with embroidery. The blouse has a keyhole neckline with embroidered trim, hand finishing and ties of twisted fibre. The long sleeves have underarm gussets and lace trim (made by pulling and reworking threads). The embroidery is arranged in vertical bands on the upper front and back and sleeve ends. The bands have black stylized vines and red flowers in tent stitch and cross stitch, worked with heavy thread. The plain petticoat is attached below waist; machine-stitched hem.
This is an example of the straight or old style blouse, worn by old women and by women of all ages in Muntanie, in the plains of the Danube and Dobroudja. Depending on the region, this blouse would be worn with a wrap-around skirt; or with two aprons, one in the front and one in the back; or with a skirt and an apron.
This blouse was owned by Ms. Zemlac's mother, Mary Kusawan (1869-1954) who came to Canada in the late 1800s.
