Abstract

This article questions the general term "folk costume", a neologism introduced in the
Croatian language in the 19th century. The romanticist invention of this term was
precedeed by the establishment of the notion of a true and correct costume that has, since the Renaissance period, been upgraded on earlier allegorical representations. The author analyses the related folk terminology and its meanings in the wider Croatian and narrower North Dalmatian framework. The article outlines the local disciplinary usage of the term, as well as the global terminological situation today. It ends with the propositon for a teminological rehabilitation that legitimizes the refreshed methodological possibilites already widely used in many works.
