Description

In 2012 a friend asked me, whether I would sew a Polish national costume -Krakowianka- for her mom's doll. I had no time then. She never came back to this discussion, but I couldn't forget.
I thought I can sew such costume for dollfie. I started in January 2013.

Polish national costumes do vary depending on the region. It helped the people to recognize immediately others from a different region. All from our folk costumes are very colored and have been decorated using embroidery.
I'm interested in womens costume so- the women wore hats, wreathes of flowers on their heads, or headkerchief. It was a way of identifying whether woman was married or not. For example the wearing of a wreath of flowers would immediately show that the woman was still single, whilst the wearing of a hat clearly showed she was married.
The skirt could be long, or short. Women worn also aprons, vests, white decorated shirts, jackets. The women costumes differ from each other also. The way, in which the dresses were decorated would help to identify woman's status with their particular regional group. The better fabric and richer decorated costume suggested, that the woman came from richer family.
Costumes are also divided on the daily and festive. The daily costumes was sewn from cheaper fabrics and was less or not decorated. The festive costumes was sewn from better fabrics and was more decorated.
We have a lot of folk costumes, but I think, that the Krakow costume is certainly the best known.
