Additional Notes: Part of a Lemko woman’s folk costume from the Velykyi Bereznyi (Velky Berezny) region of western Ukraine, along the Slovak border. Made of natural cotton with plain homespun linen waistband and front panel that would have originally been covered by an apron. Several rows of small folds plus hand-embroidered flowers and cotton lace trim around the bottom. At one point the skirt was likely more finely pleated, but has since been washed and worn in the current state. The Lemkos are a subgroup of the Rusyns that live primarily in Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland and their costumes are quite scarce.
