Trachilia

Trachilia made of striped, taisto, silk woven fabric, with wide and narrow bands in the warp. The trachilia covers the bust and is worn underneath the sarka, as an alternative to the shirt. It consists of three pieces. The two front pieces each have a height of 50 cm. and a width of 43 cm. The finish at the bottom is a simple hem, while the V-shaped neck opening, which continues as a vertical opening, is decorated with handmade pipilla lace, 1 cm. wide. The pattern consists of a series of tiny triangles, which are reminiscent of little cypress trees. At the back, the two pieces of fabric are joined to a third piece, also of striped silk, with a height of 24 cm. and a width of 43 cm. At the edges of the back piece, there are two bands of thin cord, 46 cm. each, which tie at the back.   Dimensions: front pieces: height 50 cm., width 43 cm.
