The paper presents the results of the study of the techniques of joining the parts of traditional shirts. The analysis of museum pieces presents various techniques for combining landmarks with a functional and aesthetic role. In traditional holiday women’s shirts, the joining of of parts on the lines arranged in the accessible visual perception area techniques of joining by keys of different complexity, integrated solutions of edge processing elements by crocheting and joining techniques by keys („cheițe”) were used. The joining lines of the parts arranged in areas with low visibility show applications of simple joining techniques such as stitches before the needle, after the needle, the processing of the edges of the parts with scalloped points. Traditional men’s holiday shirts used the joining of keys in some models, but shirts were also made in which the application of the techniques of joining by keys is missing. In the usual traditional shirts, the techniques of joining by keys are very rare. The terminal lines of the parts of the holiday shirts, as well, present various processing and decoration techniques applying the processing with «brezărău», the processing with crocheted lace.
The paper presents the result of the study focused on the analysis of the structural elements of the traditional Romanian costume - the join points called "keys" that ensure the processing of the edges of the components of the pieces of the traditional costume, their combination and the increase of the artistic value. The diversity, aesthetic and technical complexity of making the keys that combine the pieces of traditional shirts, both for women and for men, denotes the creativity and aesthetic taste of the creators. In addition to the structural variety of the keys, the functional characteristics are equally representative. Thus, the last part of the study is directed to the evaluation of the durability of the keys, demonstrating high strength and long service life. The study was done within the State Project 20.80009.0807.17. “Education for the revitalization of the national cultural heritage through traditional processing technologies used in the Republic of Moldova in the context of multiculturalism, diversity and European integration,” running at the Technical University of Moldova.
