A Folk Costume for Folk Dancing in Ijuí

Folk costume. Made in Ijuí, Brazil, 1991.

The costume was made for the “Jautrais pāris” children and youth dance group in Ijuí. It was made from ethnographic drawings. The costume was made by two seamstresses – one pieced it together and the other embellished it with embroidery. The embroidery was done not by hand but by machine.
Donated by Mara Susana Ceratti Salas. From the collection of the Latvians Abroad Museum and Research Centre (LP2023.108)
