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♡

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.

"Představte si, kdyby se muži dvořili dívkám taky takovým tanečkem, jako to dělá exotické ptactvo."

Jo, vypadalo by to jako Verbuňk.

taxikář v severních Čechách po půl minutě hovoru: vy jste z Brna, že?

V mé hlavě navždy bude žít den, kdy jsem se skupiny lidí z Čech zcela vážně zeptala: "Tak co včil?"

Jeden Pražák nevěděl, co po něm chci.
