Summary/Abstract: The article is based on a massive of poorly known archival documents dating from1888 and 1889 and preserved at the Scientific Archives of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. These handwritten documents provide information for the population of Bulgaria on its entire territory and describe the different varieties of local costumes atthe end of the 19th century. Photographic images are also added to illustrate the written descriptions. The author focusses her attention on those documents in the massive which indicate that some of the Gagauz women wore shalwars and finds that by theend of the 19th century the garment under consideration was quite popular amongthem. The pattern and manner of wearing such shalwars clearly shows that they wereearlier worn predominantly by Muslim women but were further “adopted” by theOrthodox Gagauz women in the period of modernization of the Ottoman Empire.
