Pistalka or brousnela apron with brikoudia. The aprons they wore were single-paneled, woven on the loom, richly decorated, and were called 'pistalkes.' They were adorned with various motifs, and each apron was named after the specific motif it featured. In addition to the pistalkes, they also wore gathered satin aprons, embroidered with sequins, featuring horizontal colored ribbons (lace) and a decorative border around the entire apron.
