Greek woman's tunic

Greek clothing - folk garment

The tunic appears to be similar to clothing worn by the Karagounes a specific sub-group of people in the Thessaly area of Greece. The tunic was acquired by the donor in the mid 20th century (sometime between 1940-1970) during her travels abroad. The donor was a Social Studies teacher in Shoreline, Washington and an active international traveler where she collected a range of outfits from around the world. She was also a part of several folk performance groups in the Seattle area.
