In this period she tied a long kerchief made of white voile (called bíbor) over the headdress on festive occasions. The golden - and colourful silk - embroidered ends were spread on the breast in a way that displayed the embroidery. It was pinned with 3-3 decorative hairpins on the temples.

Shirts in the Sárköz are of a Renaissance cut, the material of the sleeves is a particularly thin weave called száda, embroidered with a woollen thread. Around the neck a net-like collar made of beads was worn. The lower part of the body was covered by white linen skirts, the fabric was also characteristic of the Sárköz, it was the above mentioned száda. The upper skirt was made of red, blue or green cashmere, with an edge of a different colour inside. Over the shirt a sleeveless pruszlik was worn, with a shawl on it. The edge of the shawls was made even more decorated by rich silk fringing. The apron was formerly made of száda, later silk and velvet. On the upper part it was widely pleaded. Since around 1940 the fabric of the apron and the skirt have been identical, there is an apron to each skirt. Shirts have been replaced by blouses.
