Kroje

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From a promotional brochure from the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library (http://www.ncsml.org/): Kroje (pronounced "kroy-eh") are folk costumes worn by Czechs and Slovaks. Gothic influence is seen in tying shawls and kerchiefs on the head. Fine pleats and gathered lace collars typlify the Renaissance era. From Baroque bell-shaped skirts to delicate oriental patterns borrowed from Turkish invaders these folk costumes show the complex growth of a proud people.
