Summary/Abstract: Highly populated by Romanians, Subcetate commune lies in the north-western part of Harghita County, in an area inhabited mainly by ethnic Hungarians. A textile collection consisting of Romanian costumes from the first half of the last century took shape in Doina Dobrean’s house. A former teacher, Doina Dobrean began to collect a few years ago sewing samples for a school project she was fond of more than she could have imagined.
