The entari is made of turquoise satin embroidered in various stitches using silver-gilt thread. The bridal outfit is completed by a matching h›rka (long jacket) made of the same fabric and lined with red fox fur, and matching heeled shoes with uppers of the same fabric and leather soles. The tailored bodice of the entari is lengthened by flaps of fabric that fall over the skirt, giving the entari the appearance of being a two-piece skirt and blouse. The front of the bodice is decorated with frills. The skirt flares out from the waist downwards. The scalloped hem is trimmed with a tiny pleated frill. The jacket has a round neck and fitted sleeves, and opens down the front. The shoes of the same fabric are embroidered in silver. and decorated at the toe with a blue-tasselled flower.
