IRRESISTOR -LAMBDA

Some of the most beautiful and exquisitely detailed costumes seen at the 2010 Hellenic Dance and Choral Festival were those worn by the Hellas Dance Troupe of Charleston, South Carolina. These dresses are typical of traditional attire in the town of Metsovo in Epirus, or Epiros. “Metsovo was inhabited by Vlachs, who originated from an area known to us today as Romania. The Vlachs were a nomadic tribe, that moved slowly to the south. Upon reaching the Metsovo area, they ceased their wandering and decided to settle there. The costume…is similar to the costumes worn in the Zagori and Konitsa regions of Epirus and was also worn as a bridal costume or on other special occasions. The costume consists of a long dress made of oriental silk. Rich velvet fabric is cut out in a floral-like pattern and applied to the hem of the dress, revealing the silk fabric beneath it. This western style of dress included a dark-colored apron, hand-embroidered with colored silk thread along the bottom hem line. The overcoat, the flokata, unlike its western counterpart, was originally patterned after a "villager's" overcoat. In present day, it is narrower and of a more elegant design, truly complementing the dress beneath it.” ~from www.emoreiro.com/GAFS/epirus.htm The outfits in these pictures, which feature elaborate linings, trims, and appliques are the work of just one individual associated with the Hellas Dance Troupe. Not every Greek dance group is fortunate to have the services of such a talented and dedicated costume mistress but the dresses do point to the superiority of “homemade” construction as well as demonstrate the value of careful research, meticulous sewing, and scrupulous attention to detail, and variety.
