Istmo de Stagno /Peljesac :: Comparisson reports

Greater interest is found in the clothing worn by young women in Obernik; the book of prayers and fan indicate festive attire, perhaps worn as a wedding dress. It merits a greater description. Worth noting is the straw mesh component measuring 25 to 30 centimetres high and shaped like a tight basket sticking out of numerous white, red and blue feathers and climbing roses forming a crown on top and all covered with a rich cloth. A yellow, triangular silk scarf falls over a white doublet, a tight bodice joined to the red skirt which widens at the bottom. A tight blue band and green short-sleeve jacket are added, adorned with the jewels mentioned above, necklaces and large antique earrings. They offer an attractive image. These head coverings could cause our own fashion-plates, who also sport fairly eye-catching hats, to become jealous.
