ABSTRACT: The ethnographic heritage collection of the National Museum of Eastern Carpathians includes 207 traditional costume pieces which illustrate the particularities of both woman and man traditional costume from Voșlăbeni, Harghita County, through composition, the materials used, chromatics, working techniques and motifs. The women’s traditional costume underwent changes, such us, in the first half of the twentieth century, two types of costume were simultaneously used: one similar to the Moldavian set that includes embroidered blouse with ‘altiţă’ and the other – a combination of the Transylvanian embroidered blouse with ‘fodori’ and the Moldavian skirt decoration ‘catrinţă’. The men’s traditional costume had a simpler composition, the shirt being the essential element.
