Headdress from Sibiu

This old costume falls within the category of the apron at the front and catrință at the back, and consists of head kerchiefs, a blouse with skirts, an apron, a catrință and a waistband. The women wore their hair combed into two pigtails tied on the crown of the head, a headscarf or vălitoare—a raised, circular cloth bringing, made up of 30 to 35 closely packed handmade crimps, fashioned by specialised women. Placed on the head, at the back the tail of the headscarf is embroidered in typical colours.
