Every woman in Podgora had one garment for everyday use and another for festivities. Despite the poverty, the women of Podgora had precious jewellery made of gold and coral, which was one of the ways of saving during tough times, wars or natural disasters, because the jewellery was easily and quickly transported if needed. The costume itself was layered, so it could be adapted for various occasions and ages. Both men and women wore leather shoes called “opanci”, one type for colder and windy weather and another for the summer months.
