Romanian dress refers to the traditional clothing worn by
Romanians, who live primarily in Romania and Moldova, with smaller communities
in Ukraine and Serbia. Today, the vast majority of Romanians wear modern style
dress on most occasions, and the garments described here largely fell out of
use during the 20th century. However, they can still be seen in more remote
areas, on special occasions, and at ethnographic and folk events. Each
historical region has its own specific variety of costume.
IE is the type of
shirt of a typical gathered form of the collar, which has existed since ancient
times. It is also known as the "Carpathian shirt", similar to the
Slavic (Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian, etc.) peoples. The three-part decor code
of this pleated shirt is almost always the same: in addition to the underarm
embroidery, the altiță, there is a single horizontal row on the sleeve, known as
increț, and diagonal stripes below the armpit and shoulder, the râuri. The
underarm embroidery characterizes the entire costume; it is
traditionally seen as the culmination of embroidery and decoration. Each blouse
tells a compelling story about the region it comes from through the symbols and
colors used.
