Golgiszervecskék

Golgiszervecskék are a colloquial term used in Hungary to refer to a type of traditional folk clothing or national costume worn by women in the Székely Land region. The name "Golgiszervecskék" is derived from the Hungarian word "golgiszer", which means short tunic, and "vecskék", a diminutive form of "véső", meaning needlework or embroidery. This type of garment is made from embroidered textiles and was traditionally worn during traditional celebrations and special occasions.

Golgiszervecskék is characterized by intricate embroidery, silver and gold thread stitching, and rich bright colors, often patched onto the traditional Hungarian folk dress. The craftsmanship involved in creating these garments is highly regarded as a valuable part of Hungarian cultural heritage. Historically, Golgiszervecskék were passed down from mother to daughter, serving as a symbol of family tradition and cultural identity.

Originally, Golgiszervecskék were exclusive to the Székely region; however, the style has since been preserved and revived through the efforts of various cultural institutions and craft organizations in Hungary. Today, these traditional garments are occasionally worn during cultural festivals and events to promote Hungarian heritage and to showcase its rich textile traditions.
