Costume made up of a headscarf, zăvelcă and opreg, a shirt pleated at the neck, and girdles. The shirt stands out for its large size and rich ornamentation, with broad sleeves, longer than the arm. In the ornamentation of the sleeve, the system of embroidering the upper sleeve is preserved, but is much enriched and expanded, until it covers almost all the free areas.
