The Moravian folk costume (kroj) is a prolific part of Moravian history and culture. Joza Uprka held Moravian folk costume in high esteem and integrated it into the majority of his work. The elements of kroj usually consist of intricately embroidered blouses, vests, aprons and skirts for women, in addition to eye-catching sophisticated tied head scarves. Colors, patterns, and type of dress could indicate age and martial status. For men, they adorned themselves in decorated blouses, trousers, and hats. The bright, vivid colors are a physical representation of the celebratory attitude associated with the festivals and events for which Moravians have adorned themselves for centuries.

Jožka welcomed us and took us straight into the garden where we lay under the fruit trees. After a moment the local museum band appeared behind the bushes to welcome us. Drinks were passed around. I can see the whole scene which moved us all by its beauty. Girls in colourful headscarves and white sleeves completed the impression and people held their breath so as not to spoil the moment. Rodin, moved to tears by the unspoilt beauty of it all, shook my hand and admitted he never experienced anything like it and would love to stay forever. (No. 372.3)

Kroj tradition continues into modern day and is on display during traditional festivals and events throughout Moravia.
