MyPictureDay #The Bulgarian Beauty

I've traveled to my hometown so I can show you the beauty of the bulgarian girls and the traditional national dress. Let me tell you something more about it. It's a costume found in the second half of the 19th century, the village of Chouprene, Belogradchik region. The dress was the most widely spread female costume. The numerous regional varieties, however, shared certain common (all-Bulgarian) characteristics: the type of textile, the tunic-like cut, and the low neck. The soukman is most often a sleeveless dress, although in some places it has short or long sleeves. Typically, strips of the soukman fabric are attached to the sleeve openings forming the so-called "tails", reduced decorative elements of former sleeves having lost their utilitarian function. The ornamentation of this costume is concentrated on the skirts, along the neck and the sleeves' borders. It consists of multi-colour embroidery, decorative cloth, and braid appliqués, varied in size and style.
