Original Hungarian village folk skirt Black background with tiny polka dots Very full—unlike most Hungarian village skirts, this one is gathered all the way around, rather than left flat in the center to be covered with an apron. This makes it much more convenient for streetwear. Bottom of skirt features woven black bands, horizontal pleating, and band of contrasting fabric. Hem edged in braid to give it weight and movement. Underside of hem is edged in contrasting fabric for even more weight and body. No closure—can be pinned closed or closure added Label: None, handmade Place of Manufacture: Hungary Fabric: Cotton? Blend? Fabric is very soft and fluid Lining: None Colors: Black, white Closure: None, can be pinned closed or closure added Pockets: None Measurements, laid flat (in inches) Across waist 16.5 Across hips Free Total length 33 Marked Size: None, handmade Condition: Good condition; waistband is worn, especially at point of closure; as visible in photos, not all of the construction was precise, part of its handmade authenticity
