Ever since doing some research for my blog post about bridal attire from around the world ,I have \u00a0been very interested in garments worn for wedding ceremonies around the world. It came to my attention that the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe New Mexico is currently exhibiting Macedonian woven dresses that were worn from puberty through betrothal, marriage, child bearing, and old age. According to the museums website; until the mid-twentieth century, Macedonian women wove, embroidered, and wore magnificent ensembles of dress that indicated to a knowing eye what village and region they came from and where they were in the cycle of life. The\u00a0dresses would then changed to reflect status change.\u00a0The collection that the Museum has dates primarily from 1890 to 1920 with some later pieces from the 1950s. The exhibit features 27 mannequins in multi-layered ensembles as well as individual garments and pieces of jewelry belonging to Museum of International Folk Art;\u00a0today it is the largest and most comprehensive museum collection of its kind in the United States. The exhibition closes January 6, 2013.<\/p>\n

We are lucky to have \u00a0a piece of history so close to us! For more information on the exhibit visit\u00a0www.internationalfolkart.org<\/a><\/p>\n
