Kreba – woollen skirt with an apron
Skirt with bodice, Myslava, first half of the 20th century. The skirt (pale blue skirt) is made of four panels of fine factory cloth in a pale blue color. The front panels are made of cheaper dark canvas for economical reasons. The bodice (bodice) is made of red cloth and lined with coarse homemade canvas. It is adorned with green velvet ribbons and silver braids – decorative bows. The skirt was worn only on special and significant festive occasions. It was also called a wedding skirt because young women wore it for weddings. In the village, skirts made of wool were called skirts. On other festive days, skirts made of dark blue prints (black coats) or black cloth were worn.
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.
