women. Because the choice for a period of 20 years, it is

The costume
for the woman has been built from several components. Women wear
underwear, a skirt and so-called `jak’ (top part which reaches
the hips). Also the women wear an apron for the waistline and
`shawl’ around the shoulders. Entirely to finish the women wear
an ear iron with flapping bonnet and possibly some jewelry.
