Blouse had a panel and pleated sleeves. It was worn with black homespun katrinca, in two or four threads. Over the blouse were worn compact, multi-coloured waistcoats. Over the hips were worn metal adornments of coins, rings and keys threaded on chains. The headgear was a ceapsă, ornamented with rich, compact motifs sewn in black or black and red. Around the edge of the ceapsă there was a piece of white lace, sewn with a needle. Beneath the ceapsă was worn a cloth or white cotton kerchief, which extended below the cojoc behind, along the katrinca.
