The Amalia costume is the most traditional of all Greek girl costumes - it is considered the women's national costume of Greece. The costume was designated by the first queen of Greece, Queen Amalia. A long sleeve jacket is worn with the skirt and a hat with a long cord.

This girl's costume consists of a
- jacket and satin shirt (one piece top: shirt and jacket are attached to each other )
- a fez (hat) made of velvet
- cotton/polyester skirt.

This outfit is imported from Greece and is generally stocked ready to ship in our NJ location.  It is made by the premiere manufacturer of traditional Greek costumes. This traditional dancing costume is a favorite amongst dancing troupes and churches.
 
Sizing:

The costume runs true to size.  We recommend to size to the shirt of the Amalia costume as the shirt is the tightest fit of the whole outfit.  If your child is broad shouldered, you can size up. If she’s average or narrow shouldered, you can size down.

The skirt is full length and has an elastic waist.  The elastic waist of the skirt can be rolled up to shorten the length if need be.
