The 16th century saw a significant transformation in Central-European clothing customs, which became evident in the emergence of national styles of clothing (German, Hungarian, Polish) and the equally rapid adoption of Spanish dress ensembles. Changes in clothing also touched the countryside, where new kinds of textiles began to replace the predominant woollen cloth in the second half of the 16th century. Woollen, cotton and silk materials were used mainly in festive clothing. At first, it was in the production of traditional garments, but increasingly new items of clothing appeared alongside them, which the countryside adopted from the urban environment after a certain period of time. The urban guild tailors were the source of the structural innovations transforming the existing cut of the women’s full skirt, from which the sleeves and subsequently the bodice were separated. By the end of the 16th century, a new ensemble of clothing articles had established itself in the countryside, containing individual garments of different origins and period, but creating a new aesthetic quality in the ensemble that lasted for several centuries.
