The Jászság is a region located approximately 60 km east of Budapest in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County. Since 1994 there have been conscious and concerted efforts to maintain and encourage appreciation and knowledge of local Jász heritage. This article tells mainly about the project of reconstructing and re-introducing local costume. First materials from the Jász Museum on local dress in the region in the 19th century were studied, then came the search for appropriate textiles, finally local seamstresses began to sew the costume pieces and then entire sets of costume. More and more local residents became enthusiastic and had costumes made. Nowadays many local families wear the Jász costume for celebrations, weddings, local holidays, etc. By Bathó Edit, ethnographer and director of the Jász Museum.
