This absorbing and disciplinary book examines dress in a broad range of folk cultures from Turkey, Greece, and Slovakia to Norway, Latvia and Lithuania and others. The authors reveal the connection between folk dress and ancient myths, cults and ritual, as well as the communicative aspects of folk dress. It examines how an individual dressed in a certain way is placed within a community and also how a community is defined, whether it be of women, the village, the larger geographic area, or the nation. The intriguing connections between dress and the supernatural beliefs of agrarian communities, as well as the reinvention of such beliefs of agrarian communities as a part of nationalism is discussed. This book represents a significant contribution to the growing body of literature on the cultural meanings of dress, as well as to material culture, anthropology, folklore, art history, ethnohistory, and linguistics.

In the past, girls from rural southeastern Europe spent their childhoods weaving, sewing, and embroidering festive dress so that upon reaching puberty they could join the Sunday afternoon village dances garbed in resplendent attire. These extremely colorful and intensely worked garments were often adorned with embroidery, lace, metallic threads, coins, sequins, beads, and, perhaps most importantly, fringe, a symbolic marker of fertility. Over time new forms of dress were added so that by 1900, a southeastern European village woman's apparel consisted of millennia of layered history. Even today this dress continues to be worn on festive occasions and by older people in rural areas. Lavishly illustrated, Resplendent Dress from Southeastern Europe features fifty stunning nineteenth- through twentieth-century ensembles from Macedonia, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro, and neighboring countries, plus one hundred individual items including aprons, vests, jackets, and robes. Elizabeth Wayland Barber traces this twenty-thousand-year tradition of dress in fascinating detail.
