This doll wears the national costume of Slovenia, called "Narodna noša." Its elements are comprised of folk costumes worn in the region of Gorenjska, which may also be said to be a national costume, worn in all regions of Slovenia. The costume is worn these days primarily for folk dancing and festivals.
Included in the costume is a brass belt, the "sklepanec," and a starched cap, the "avba".
