Slovenian dolls



Pictured are a pair of 8 inch stockinette dolls wearing a folk costume from Slovenia. The male doll is particularly nice with his embroidered waistcoat and red ribbon tie. He has a black leather belt and woollen felt shorts with tall black boots. The green hats worn by the male Slovenian dolls usually have a small feather or, as is the case here, some colourful twists of thread to add interest. The female doll wears a bright purple shawl and full skirt over a white cotton petticoat. All the female Narodna Radinost dolls wear pantaloons and cotton petticoats trimmed with lace along with white stockings or socks. Her shoes are made from black felt instead of leather.  I love the ribbon used to trim the white head dress although unfortunately with prolonged storage the hats do tend to become a little flat.
