These photos are incredible, they are full of culture. I am struck by what you say about the ornaments, with hand sewn nuggets, this must have been a weeks work, it pays to achieve such an elegant costume.
Beautiful costumes, which are now worn on special occasions and in ancient years were the companions of men and women in the country of Romania.
You're right, old folk costumes mean culture.
Months or years as they had no electricity, days were short and everything was done manually.
