Coming from self-sufficient communities, Romanians made their own clothing: the main clothing pieces were handmade and sewn by women, and leather clothing/ footwear were made by local craftsmen (meșteri). Costumes could take between 1-2 years to make. The work was done mostly during winters at “sezatoare” since the days were short and the field work wasn’t as demanding. This was also an opportunity to socialize.
Traditional sewing differed from today’s western-style sewing which is concentrated on quick practical sewing. The fabrics were produced at home, not bought. The main fabrics used were homemade cotton, wool, leather, borangic (traditional Romanian silk), hemp, linen. Lace or velvet were also used. The materials kept cool during summer and warm during winter. The clothes were colored using vegetable dye made from plants.
Although the Romanian blouse “ia” is commercialized as the most representative Romanian garment, the traditional costumes are in fact much more complex and varied, however the basic pieces are the same.
In an old colored picture you can admire the beautiful princess Ileana of Romania.
