Abstract
The Vrbovec folk costume was worn in the area of today's Vrbovec municipality, in the very town of Vrbovec and in the villages that had developed up to the 20th century, belonging to the Vrbovec and Lovrec parishes. The female costume may fall in to the category of the older costume type, known as «rozana» (puckered) and the more recent type – «šnitana» folk costume (pleated). Between the First and Second World Wars the «šnitana» costume is substituted for the «rozana» costume that is worn also as a more festive version at special occasions. The girls wear their hair in braids, while the married women wear the «poculica» (a married woman’s cap) determining their marital status. Men exchanged their traditional costumes for civil clothes as early as at the beginning of the 20th century. The male folk costume had its festive and workday versions. The festive version consisted of pants and shirt finely puckered (the same as the female costume), and the workday costume consisted of pants and shirt of the same cut, but without any puckering.
