Simple yet stately, the Warmia region female costume was particularly apt at underlining female attributes. The wide, frilled, three-metre-long dress was made of velvet or silk and worn with a cap elaborately embroidered with real gold and silver. Real laced masterpieces tied at the chin - to say the least. They were usually sewn by nuns and could only be worn by married women. From the information on the Dom Warmiński website we discover that the headpieces differed in shape, embroidery and decoration. The complexity depended on the owner's age, wealth and the occasion for which the headdress was worn. Those with a particularly fondness for fashion would add splendour with a pair of earrings or by doing their hair up with hairpins (called harnatle). The Warmia region costume ceased to be widely worn already at the end of the 19th century. The female dress was used for longer while the it's male equivalent has passed into oblivion.
