Front and back each including sleeves are made of one piece of cotton.Such dresses were worn by men, women and children, summer and winter, sometimes two or three on top of each other. Women's dresses are longer and more colorful than men's.Such native dresses were worn at the end of the 20th century only by old women.Beautifully decorated dresses in which special materials are incorporated - silk and colored beads and the like - are still sometimes seen during regional folkloric festivals.
