Along the hem, the dress has drop-shaped metal plates, a female sign.The dresses were worn by men, women and children, in summer and winter, sometimes two or three on top of each other. Women's dresses are longer and lighter colored than those of men.\As of the late 20th century, such indigenous dresses are only worn by old women.\Beautifully decorated dresses in which special materials are incorporated-silk and colored beads and the like-are sometimes still seen during regional folkloric festivals.
