Use of specific elements of moldavian folks garments in the elaboration of new models of products for women

Abstract

The study was centered on the traditional Moldavian suit for women and the possibility of using its specific elements for the elaboration of new models of garments. In this context, the method of morphological analysis was applied, implying the decomposition of products into component elements with subsequent combination in different manners.

The experimental research resulted in the elaboration of suits composed of two main elements: one with waist support – skirt (trousers) and one with support on shoulders – blouse, as well as dresses fixed around the waist with belts and tapes. The system of models has a flexible shape made of single-color materials, thin and easy, providing for the maximum wearer’s comfort. Also there persists a series of characteristic decorating elements: embroidery, laces, flounces, defining accessories, such as belts etc. These types of products can be worn both at special occasions and in daily life, being intended for the women of young and middle age.
