Sleeveless white woollen overcoat (sayias) of the traditional costume worn by adolescent girls in the Florina region. On the upper part, on the chest and on the two shoulder blades down to the waist, there are appliqued panels of black woollen fabric. Both sides of the vertical front opening are embellished with twisted cord, which is interrupted in four places by similarly twisted gold cord. Another row of twisted cord, also interrupted in places by gold cord, creates an angle, forming a triangular frame together with the first cord. The inside is embroidered with gold geometric decoration arranged into a triangle, which is surrounded by a thin embroidered gold stripe. Below, there is appliqued Z-shaped gold galloon trim. The ends of the black fabric are embellished with black lace. On the back, each shoulder blade has two embroidered rectangles with gold geometric decoration. Between them is a small rectangular piece of gold fabric. They are all surrounded by twisted black cord, which is interrupted in places by similarly twisted gold cord. The end of the appliqued fabric is embellished with gold cord, which is followed by delicate black decorative lace. A black tassel is attached to the bottom of each side. The bottom of the front opening and the hemline are embellished with embroidered white geometric motifs. In the centre of the back, low down, the embroidery is surrounded by blue and gold galloon trims in the shape of a rectangle, without one long side. The gold galloon trim is surrounded on three sides by white embroidery with geometric motifs.
