A cherry-coloured kamzol waistcoat, cream shirt and embroidered apron accompany Razvozka’s working story. A tea brick rests on cloth in the paws, with small weights secured at the waist.
A muted turquoise blouse with full sleeves and a cream skirt brighten the home outfit. Razvozka holds a glass of tea, with floral embroidery and soft shoes completing the quiet mood.
An emerald kamzol with floral embroidery sits over the plum dress. Razvozka offers tea in a painted cup that echoes the outfit’s festive colours.
A cream kulmek dress and cherry-coloured embroidered kamzol form the wedding ensemble. A chest ornament and a teacup on its saucer add a ceremonial touch.
Gold-toned floral trim links the ruffled coral dress, blue kamzol and embroidered kalfak cap. Razvozka presents a small piece of pressed tea, with a copper tea caddy hanging at the hip.
A long burgundy velvet layer with gold-toned embroidery opens over a pale dress. Razvozka holds the embroidered veil, while a tea gift travels in a small waist pouch.
