The Queen of Roumania seeks to boost native crafts by sending English samples of two grand Roumanian costume ideas. One features a handwoven white cloth gown with gold and silver thread roc stitches and a richly worked girdle, paired with a crepe blouse embroidered in red squares. The second costume uses white cloth with gold relief designs and blue and red circular jewel motifs, with a tasselled girdle. Also shown are blouses, a water-pressed blue crepe design, a rich table cover, a wire bordered scarf, and a doll in a pantaloons costume demonstrating wear. Exhibits include embroidered muslin borders and curtains to complement the outfits, reflecting a vivid display of embroidery arts and fabric crafts.
