RE: [Cz-L] Bukovina.

The skirt was called in Romanian "catrintza" and not "fusta". In Romanian
any skirt is a fusta, whereas catrintza is part of a typical national dress
of peasant girls. The belt is called "brau".

The girls are still beautiful and the landscape - breathtaking, in new
Bukovyna.
Definitely worth a visit.

Does anyone know whether the girls are wearing Romanian or Ukrainian
costumes?The skirt which consists of a woolen,striped, handwoven
rectangle, held together at the waist with a belt?
In Romanian this was called "fusta", which I believe is a Greek word.
