| | Description |
Exceptional, huge book about the traditional folk costumes of Greece and the Greek Islands. This is the first volume of a two-volume
set on Greek costumes. This volume is devoted to costumes with the "sigouni" or traditional sleeveless vest. The book presents the women's costumes of
each region with hundreds of photos, both historic black/white photos and recent color photos of specific costume elements, embroidery and jewelry.
The book is an invaluable resource with detailed regional information as well as costume patterns, embroidery close-ups, useful glossary and more.
Photos of vests, blouses, tunics, shawls, belts, silver jewelry, dresses, and more. The book itself is in excellent condition, however the dust jacket has a bit of wear and tear and some visible repairs. You can leave it on or take it off to
reveal a perfectly preserved book. This is a rare opportunity to add this reference book to your library. The book is quite large and weighs nearly 6.5 pounds
so please inquire about international shipping before bidding to avoid surprises! The second volume of this book is also available in our eBay store - please contact us for
