Celebrating the Universal Day of The Romanian Blouse in Dubai

Today, 24th of June, is the Universal Day of the IE (known as the Romanian blouse or la blouse roumaine), a traditional Romanian blouse skillfully decorated with fine art hand embroidery. Initiated by the Facebook community "La Blouse Roumaine" just few months ago, this day is celebrated around the world by Romanians and their friends. It is from my knowledge the first time in history (ok, exaggerating) when Romanians around the world enthusiastically unite for a common cause, to unveil the beauty, the sense and the stories behind one of the most beautiful artifacts that Romania gave the world. 

I have few Romanian blouses, but my newest one was brought all the way to Dubai from Romania by TAROM, the Romanian Airline.

The Romanian Blouse - telling its own story

TAROM's uniform is rather beautiful, but what if we changed it to
something inspired from the Romanian Blouse?
