  Decorative Macedonian embroidery, characteristic in the forms, technically complex and of picturesque colors give special expression and distinction to the national costumes. The women's gowns are especially decorative, and are the main bearer of this kind of traditional artistic creation. Embroidery is not only an artistic expression and the essential element but the most characteristic of the costumes of different regions.
The Macedonian folk embroidery, mostly made of wool and silk, impresses with its polychrome where all the shades of red dominate. Light red is particularly characteristic of the embroidery of the Prilep, Bitola, Debar and Ohrid regions. The women's gowns from Dolen Polog and Skopska Crna Gora are decorated with black molded embroidery which reminds us with its stylish composition of the early Christian textile decor.
The folk textiles of Macedonian's are an important branch of the folk arts, although today limited, it continues as a necessary and indispensable need of the Macedonian's in most parts. Besides different materials and parts of the costumes and textile objects for everyday domestic uses the big Macedonian carpets made in Ohrid, Prilep, Krusevo are of particular importance. They are of real value due to their beauty, rich ornamentation and harmonious colors.
