Summary/Abstract: Folk dress in Moravia is markedly variable. Until the early 20th century, the clothing from the eastern part of Moravia featured the use of local raw materials and a considerable amount of home production. This did not cover the entire folk costume ensemble, but work clothing, some basic garments, and most accessories were made at home. The home production followed time-tested archaic methods which had not changed for centuries.
