Rakvice🇨🇿
Some beautiful Moravian dresses/costumes from Rakvice, a village/municipality in the South East of Czechia🇨🇿.

This place has wonderfully preserved their beautiful culture.

You will notice with Moravian dresses, women tend to have large, puffy dresses with their distinctive huge, wide skirts and abundant petticoats underneath.

In many regions in South Moravia, men's costumes typically include a long white embellished ribbon with a decorated cockade on the right side of their vests as you can see above.

I managed to find some older photos from 1959 too♡

A traditional dress/costume in Czech & Slovak is called a "Kroj" (pronounced like kroi). I love how highly and beautifully embellished each garment is from here♡

Podhorácko Miku!
Jumping on the cultural representation bandwagon (must say I had to look her up...) with a quick doodle of one of the least obvious Czech / Moravian folk costumes.
I mean, original idea was Valašsko / Moravian Wallachia (part of my own family heritage) but I feel like that's the second most obvious Czech folk costume artists reach for every time they want to be different and avoid the super-obvious Slovácko... Podhorácko is a rather loosely defined border region between South Moravia and Vysočina / the Highlands, where it seems the folk costume doesn't differ too much from Horácko proper and what sets the region apart is rather geography and dialect.
One thing to bear in mind is that folk costumes were never uniforms, and Podhorácko appears to be one of the regions that underline the individuality. I zoomed in on Tišnov (among other reasons like liking the town, the red and white striped skirts are striking and easy to draw) and stole some elements from an old photo of very low quality which I'm guessing is from the 1890s (based on the non-folk-costumed lady in the back), and even there every single person seems to be wearing something slightly different.
Upon reflection, not sure where I came across the beribboned sleeves because Tišnov it ain't. Ah well. If someone with better artistic skills wants to take her on, please do. Yay for cultural representation. 😀

If you grew up in Ostrava or another town narrowly on the Moravian side of the Moravia/Silesia border you either identify as:
• Moravian because that's where you live
• Silesian because your teen emo ass thought the Silesian Eagle is cooler than the Moravian one and you never accepted that your coat of arms would be the checkered flannel chicken

The Venus of Dolní Věstonice is a Venus figurine of female figure dated to 29,000–25,000 BC. It was found at the Paleolithic site Dolní Věstonice in the Moravian basin south of Brno, in the base of Děvín Mountain in which is present-day Czech Republic.

When we think of the beautiful aesthetics of the Moravian past, most of us only tend to think of the good. But what untold fantastical darkness may lay under that aesthetic?
We may never know now.

South Moravian landscape near Kyjov, Czech Republic

The Carpathian Mountains tower over the east, and the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands rise in the northwest, cradling the farming valleys of the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. And though you may think of pilsner beer when you think of the Czech Republic, this is wine country. The vineyards of South Moravia yield most of the country’s wine.
