Besides traditional folk dance and music, traditional costumes represent another important, characteristic element of national and religious identity. Although – due to modernization processes – until the end of the communist era most communities had given up on traditional costumes, recently we can observe a true renaissance of these vestimentary elements. In several localities at the rituals of passing from one life stage to another (graduation of elementary school, confirmation, anointment, wedding, etc.) young people dress in traditional costumes. However the greatest supporters of traditional costumes and promoters of their conservation are the traditional folk dance and folklore groups. The most renowned traditional costumes of the area are those from Voivodeni, Gornești and Glodeni.

Upon the apparition of cheap textile materials and cheap factory-made clothes, the rural household industry of traditional costumes has lost a lot from its intensity and finally, towards the second half of the century it came to a final extinction. The weaving of carpets of different dimensions and embroidery survived till the second half of the 20^th century. In the 1990’s they still used and made several table-covers, wall covers, ornamental pillow-cases, laces, and wool or rag carpets. The most popular ornaments were phytomorphic (tulip, rose, and squill) and zoomorphic (deer, pelican, dove – symbol of Protestantism) motifs and less popular were the geometrical motifs. The most frequently used colors were blue and red or the combinations of red and black or red and blue.

Nowadays these objects are not in use anymore, they are kept only in the drawers of the generations who are over 40 years old or at the exhibitions and museums of the microregion. However those made for churches and chapels are used in our days as well, they became a true brand of church interiors, giving a chance of survival for traditional folk motifs they are decorated with.
