Sleeves are sewn from homespun cotton cloth. In the middle of the sleeves, along their length, there is inserted bobbin lace. On both sides of the lace, there is embroidery based on thread counting. Stitches used: cross-stitch, hemstitch, eyelet stitch. The sleeve hems are also embroidered with cross-stitch. The upper part of the sleeves is gathered and sewn into a small collar, on which machine stitching in a scallop shape is done.
The apron (indigo-dyed) is made from indigo-dyed fabric with a yellow pattern. The two panels are stitched together with a decorative seam sewn with colorful wool yarn. The lower edge of the apron is finished with sewn teeth-shaped edging, which are hand-finished with wool yarn. Gypsy ribbons for tying are attached to the apron straps.
The apron (woven) is woven from white cotton yarn. It is embellished with interlacing dark red cotton yarn. Pleats are made on both sides in the upper part, secured with simple stitches in colored cotton thread. Ties are attached to the lower edge of the apron.
