Citation
Description We lack sources which would help us form an impression of how folk attire developed from the early Middle Ages. Archeological dicoveries have enabled us to lern a little about clothing in the time of the Great Moravian Empire, if only about materials and production techniques. The earliest pictorial documentation, in the form of manuscripts, has its origin in the 11th century, although we have many more such sources from the 14th century.Archaic garments were preserved among the people either as workattire (for practical reasons) or they were borrowed for use in ceremonial costume, giving them a new, more magical function.
