Description: Excellent reprint of this classic 1981 publication with an introduction by Reet Piiri. The book has been left in more or less the original format as the authors intended with minimal changes and modifications. The original three volumes have been republished in a more useful size that will delight both fans of the original publication as well as newcomers to the field. Includes an overview of the regional costumes from the entire country and is illustrated with color and black/white photos as well as drawings of couples in the local costumes. The second volume includes sewing patterns for the costume pieces shown in the first volumes and a folio of color and black/white embroidery patterns on large folded sheets (designs on front and back).
