The female's traditional garment consists of a white embroidered blouse, an embroidered vest trimmed with sheep fleece, and a white skirt with lace on the hem, usually covered by a black embroidered overskirt. The male costume consists of a white embroidered shirt, a vest similar to the women's, white pants, a hat decorated with peacock feathers or flowers, or a sheep fleece cap, and a wide belt. Both men and women wear opinci, leather shoes with leather laces that tie around the ankles.
Fantastic card showing the traditional aspects of Moldova in the clothes,
food, the country's name on it and the Europa 2013 CEPT "Postal Van" series
But to have the stamp survive the journey without being stolen is a great relief
thank you Olga for this special card and my pets (missing one more dog though :p )
