The blouse is worn inside the skirt. Handwoven blouse in old style, woven on a step loom. Very wide at the bottom, gathered at the top to a round neck with a small vertical slit in the front, held together with two cords with a tassel. The decorations are especially in black, characteristic of the old style. At the time of collection this blouse was only worn by older women. From about the 1960's onwards a lot of embroidery was used in the blouses.
