<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 619008, member: 2844&quot;]With the Croatian costume you picked, I am guessing you are originally from the north, parts of Slavonia have that white and red dominance.</p><p>But I think you are selling your country of origin short, Croatia has an abundance of very different styles. Probably due to its unique shape, which allowed for so many influences.</p><p>With the beaded embroidery on the bodice I was thinking another part of Slavonia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Czech and Hungarian costumes are generally more doll-like, with shorter, wide skirts.</p><p>Bulgaria has relatively short, straight pleated skirts and rectangular thickly woven aprons.</p><p>It could be Polish, but the thing is, there is just not enough correct detail to go by. So I was going for a region not too far from Italy, where the doll itself could have been made, and a region with bead embroidery. So I thought parts of Slavonia, Croatia, which has such a wealth of costumes, including some with beautiful thickly embroidered and beaded bodices and shawls.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are also Croatian, the first two are Slavonian too, but from another part from the one you showed:</p><p><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xNBFrGPW_cw/Uld0kOZ0mHI/AAAAAAAAOmg/Dj9O7y18AZA/s640/644000_112598608890345_1909391661_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EoJmBCqv5h4/Ulh4r1njVhI/AAAAAAAAOpk/-GxxUD_Dv9U/s640/Plavna+(okolica+Ba%C4%8Da)2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gXK62fvJfIc/Ulh71En3OfI/AAAAAAAAOqo/OpnUtxxn0go/s1600/1157480_225294307620774_1204659428_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmnMW2m0sD4/Uli49PCnNzI/AAAAAAAAOw0/Wm-kg9HQ4YQ/s640/601203_197403277076544_756841473_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JrU4UTr47ZE/Ul1UsWO_o-I/AAAAAAAAO-c/cy7J-sybGs0/s1600/253243_193709157445956_408993263_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8j5hBxZJ6V8/Uly1xwRcPsI/AAAAAAAAO9c/Xt3UaDBNkqQ/s640/1016721_209160122567526_438073717_n.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
