Historically the girls of the ethnographic area of L\u0103pu\u0219 used to wear such clothing attire as daily outfit, but with the passing of time the traditional costume is worn only on special occasions such as on holidays, weddings, etc. \r\nThe traditional costume is one of the most important manifestations of traditional culture, the result of the creative effort of a whole community and a real identity brand. The dominant note of the elements that compose the Romanian folk costume is the use of white fabrics made of natural f ibres (plant and animal). Particular attention is paid to the long and difficult technological processes of producing clothing elements in the world of the traditional village, weaving a whole system of beliefs and customs in this regard. The traditional production of costumes relied on local resources such as wool, hemp, linen, and cotton. The most relevant piece of this attire and the element that \r\nestablishes the genesis of the Romanian folk costume is the shirt, which synthesises the most traditional elements and, at the same time, the most numerous artistic elements of ornamentation. In traditional spirituality, the embellishments that are used to decorate the shirt are not just decorative signs, but they have a much deeper spiritual meaning and play a protective role for the person wearing the clothing item. The symbols and various shapes embroidered on traditional costumes embody the identity of the people in a mixture and contraposition of sacred and mundane, faith and pagan superstitions, creative genius and practical functions."
