SOLD WOMAN'S FOLK COSTUME of BISTRITA, $280

Remember Bram Stoker's "Dracula?" The heroes left Munich and headed toward Transylvania. Their final destination was the town of Bistrita. If someone would like to produce an "ethnographically correct" Dracula movie, the peasant women should wear this type of clothes.
