Macedonian ethnic dress is full of meaning and significance. It is
visually stunning and embodies the skills, expectations, hopes and
fears, creative use of materials, and aesthetic sense of the
individuals who made and wore it. Saturated with cultural meaning,
these many-layered ensembles rank among the best examples of
textile art anywhere. This landmark catalog brings together
scholarship by Macedonian experts with a museum collection in the
United States and outstanding photography to present treasures of
Macedonian dress from 1880 to 1950. Essays on embroidery, materials
of dress, techniques of production, and hair dressing illuminate
the complexities that existed in this small country at the
crossroads of civilizations. The legacy of Macedonian women's hands
and minds will live on in this volume for future generations to
admire.
