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. On each side of the chest, there is embroidery with blue and white geometric decoration, in a triangular shape, framed by delicate decorative lace. 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 blue and white geometric decoration and a border of delicate white lace. Between them is a small rectangular piece of gold fabric. The end of the appliqued fabric is embellished with a thin white cord, which is followed by 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 white galloon trim and white embroidery with wavy 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 vegetal motifs.
