Rakvice🇨🇿
Some beautiful Moravian dresses/costumes from Rakvice, a village/municipality in the South East of Czechia🇨🇿.
This place has wonderfully preserved their beautiful culture.
You will notice with Moravian dresses, women tend to have large, puffy dresses with their distinctive huge, wide skirts and abundant petticoats underneath.
In many regions in South Moravia, men's costumes typically include a long white embellished ribbon with a decorated cockade on the right side of their vests as you can see above.
I managed to find some older photos from 1959 too❤️
A traditional dress/costume in Czech & Slovak is called a "Kroj" (pronounced like kroi). I love how highly and beautifully embellished each garment is from here❤️

"Reiter aus dem Gefolge des 'Königsrittes'. Das Pferd verschwindet geradezu unter der Menge des bunten Schmucks. Der Ritter trägt eine Standarte aus einem roten Tüchlein, wie es die Frauen auf dem Kopf tragen (Vlčnov bei Uherský Brod)."
Karel Šmirous + Blažena Šotková, Volkstrachten in der Tschechoslowakei (Prag: Artia, 1956)
