Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Museum of Applied Arts in Tashkent is hosting an exhibition of national Romanian costumes dedicated to the Day of the Romanian blouse.
The event was organized by the Embassy of Romania in the Republic of Uzbekistan with the kind support of the Museum of Applied Arts of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
24 June was established by the Decree of the President of Romania as the day when the traditional Romanian blouse is celebrated, a valuable item of the national folk costume, which for centuries has been made in the homes of Romanian peasants from natural materials, woven at home, and decorations with hand-sewn ornaments from yarn, dyed in natural colors. Ornaments, which vary by region, are of rare beauty and have a meaning lost in the mists of time.
