Skirt made of green tybet fabric with a printed motif of three roses. Machine-sewn from four parts.

Tybet – a factory-made fabric made of twill-woven worsted wool of Tibetan sheep or goats. The oldest tybets were thick, heavy, and rough to the touch. Thinner and more delicate ones appeared later on. Usually printed in floral patterns whose layout and elements, including the background colour, changed over time.
