Under the generality of costume details which characterizes this region, the costume of each of the villages has its own peculiarities.
The special aim of this exhibition is to acquaint visitors with the example of the traditional clothes. Some of the costumes which are shown were made in the beginning of the 20th century or in 1920s-1930s, later in 1950s-1960s such kind of dresses were renewed by modern fabrics, bands and laces. Moreover, in some villages of this region in 1960-s-1980s the process of making costumes whose elements had a traditional cut was actively recommenced. Women made clothes for their marriageable daughters, because they wished to see them in traditional bride dresses.
At present, in the 21st century in a number of villages of the Skopskiy and Miloslavskiy regions many old women are still wearing poneva, shirts, aprons and headgear of a traditional cut both on weekdays and feast.
