For a more saturated color, the gaps are filled with appliquéd small square pieces of red sukno. The composition is complemented by a wide about 40 cm sheer strip of stylized plant motives. The soukman (pinafore) is elongated with a double piece of canvas, embroidered with multicolored geometric shapes that are different on both strips.
On the soukman (pinafore) is wrapped a woolen belt with woven embossed multicolored stripes – vadena technique. A colorful wool belt with silver leaf-shaped buckles decorates the presented traditional suit.
The apron is woolen, red. In the weaving are formed two fields, the upper is monochrome, red, and the lower – multicolored, filled with geometric shapes /rhombuses/, located horizontally and small stylized plant ornaments.
