"Folk dress" or "folk costumes" promote and preserve our cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship. The term ‘folk dress’ or ‘folk costume’ refers to customary dress that was worn in a particular geographical area, parish, jurisdictional district or part of the countryside.

During the mid-1800s the local way of dressing slowly disappeared. Nowadays, the ‘folk’ or ‘jurisdictional district’ costume is worn with fondness on festive occasions such as weddings, baptisms and other formal ceremonies or celebratory occasions. A traditional folk costume, as well as being appropriate attire, always makes you feel nicely dressed up. Even at funerals, it is suitable to wear a traditional costume.

The Harvest Costume - An Alternative to the Heavier Folk Costume

The traditional summer garment comprising the harvest shift (or chemise) has become increasingly popular and in demand. It is a nice, lightweight, and cool alternative to the heavier traditional costume where the bodice is attached to the skirt.
