MARAMUREŞ OAŞ For Romania is the origin of one of the oldest civilizations of classical European antiquity, the Thracian-Dacian heiress, in turn, has six millennia of agrarian civilization of the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The Carpathian-Danubian-Pontical space preserved the remains of the most important historical, linguistic and ethnographic Eastern Romanism relicts. The similarity of the popular costume worn today to the one worn by the Dacian ancestors generations ago, represented the monuments of classical antiquity, of which the most famous are The Trajan's Column in Rome and The Trophaeum Trajani from Adamclisi in Dobrogea, proves millennial persistence of costumes, which appear nowadays into an evolved form.
BANAT The positive function of the emptiness, of the field, that rhythmic factor through this relaxed way, the Romanian folk art is an island in the East European spirit ... the spirit of the measure. "The vivid colors are never harsh and gloomy colors are never dull. The gold and silver threads inserted into fabric, the "altiţele" and the "rivers" sewn with silk, gold sequins and silk ‘maramele’ give the females’ costumes from these areas a special elegance and fluffiness. And the Banatean’ costume, in the western part of the country, changed its style under the influence of the Baroque decor, enriching the original fund without altering it. Embodiments with golden thread
Oltenia Women's Costumes Folk female costume is distinguished from the male’s costume. What are the parts that form these two suits, with their specific names? The folk costume for feast in Oltenia, worn by women, consists of a dress, a blouse (“ie”) with hem, which may be integral or not; two skirts, like an apron (named “zăvelci” or “boşcelele”), placed one in front and the other behind, then the veil for covering the head, different ways of being bound, depending on age and social condition. The blouse is sewn with red embroidery (named “altiţă”). The foot of the skirt has “şabac” - ornamental holes made in cloth – and it is also beautifully sewn with red, it is adorned with sequins, but much less than in other regions of the country, where the suit can be full of beads. • From the point of view of the structure, we find two types of blouses in Oltenia: the one unwrinkled and the one with wrinkled collar. We insist on the latter category whereas in this region, it reaches the heights of creation techniques. Its name comes from wrinkling braid (front and rear) and the upper sleeve wrinkle. Decorative compositions made with tinsel wires with metal or beads multicolored butterflies are arranged on the collar, chest, back, hem, sleeves - the latter present embroidery, wrinkled, with lines or compact seams, distributed throughout surface, without free spaces, with predominant geometric shapes. The pieces of cloth are connected by small keys or wrinkles (“făgurel”) - latest for the space under the collar and the sleeve bent. • The aprons belong to the first category, being worn in pairs (one in front, one in back) having or not equal size. The ornaments on these aprons are usually disposed either vertically or horizontally.
Oltenia Men's Costumes Romanian folk costume represents eternity and an ethnic individuality. Men's costumes from Oltenia are simpler than female without many differences from region to region. They consist of: • shirt (long as a dress) - is made of woven cloth. The hem has embroidery made of white “macramé” (cotton yarn) and flowers of different colors sewn with the needle. • belt - is made of woven wool. It is warn around the waist (it is red, blue, white, orange, green) • pants – for summer they were made of hemp, flax, cotton, for winter they were made of wool four-wire braided, known as “dimie” (or abá, cloth). • coat - is made from sheepskin. On the edges are flowers of different colors sewn with the needle. • The traditional costume is indeed a living document that tells, in a word, the think about the world and life of the community it represents. Regarding the traditional costumes from Oltenia you can distinguish a north-south variation arrangement. So, those in the plain region have suffered the strongest Balkan influences, which are found in phytomorphic and zoomorphic motifs, with gold thread used generously; in the mountains geometrical, traditional motifs predominate. Overall, it gives a certain touch of sobriety, archaism that characterizes the northern costumes, in contrast to the plain region, which presented a lot of decorative forms.
