The bottom part of the costume from Bizovac (Croatia) embeds specific traditional handwork techniques, such as embroidery, needle lace and pleating. As a lampshade, it preserves the shape, typological layering, and decorative details. Moreover, it acquires a new function – the possibility of controlling the light by simply lifting the layers, which also implies a new amusing characteristic.” (Nina Bacun)
