Men’s overcoat, Bunetice, end of the 19th century. The overcoat (coat) is made of domestic white cloth. The edges of the overcoat, sleeves, and collar are decorated with woolen cords of black and red color. A characteristic feature of the overcoat is the wedge-shaped widening at the sides, which is very small in this case. At the beginning of the 20th century, overcoats were replaced by summer coats (kitle), which were worn in the summer, and shorter coats of urban character in winter. During this period, the overcoat was only worn at weddings.
Viera Škrabalová-Líčeníková was a prominent Slovak textile artist with a wide range of creative activities. During her work at ÚĽUV, Viera Škrabalová-Líčeníková also engaged in fashion design. Her fashion sketches incorporate decorative elements of folk costumes, such as embroidery or lace, and are inspired by the design solutions of traditional folk clothing pieces. These drawings document the situation of the 1950s when ÚĽUV closely collaborated with embroidery, lace-making, and blueprint production cooperatives. This collaboration between the cooperatives and design studios resulted in several valuable models that also went into regular production.
The collection of drawings in the Museum of Folk Art Production includes mainly designs for women’s day and evening dresses, as well as blouses. The designs are accompanied by brief descriptions indicating the material, cut, and decoration of the garments. Natural fabrics were proposed for making the dresses – cotton, linen, and silk materials.
In addition to designing and implementing interior decorative and utility textiles, she was actively involved mainly in the spheres of theater, film, and television.
