[TrueMacedonian]

I want to point out the relevence of the color Red in relation to Macedonian costumes - http://www.macedoniadirect.com/costumes/default.asp

Traditional costumes in these parts of Macedonia are characterized by the numerous pieces of clothing, made mostly of white klashna, as well as the various headdresses and rich prevailing red colors.

and

The eastern Macedonia type includes: the Middle Vardar Valley, and the Shop ethographic area.

The costumes from these regions are generally lighter and rather plain, without massive jewelry, exquisite decoration and lively colors. Red is the prevalent color, and other decoration includes variegated cords, braids, bands and srma.
