The beldemchi is a traditional wrap skirt or cape with a wide belt, which is an important part of the Kyrgyz women's national costume. It is worn over a dress or a chapan and symbolizes femininity, dignity, protection from the cold, as well as a connection to cultural traditions. The beldemchi is usually made from velvet, silk, or other fabrics, and is adorned with embroidery that has deep symbolic meaning.
Participants of the master class are required to bring their own materials: fabric (velvet or corduroy) measuring 1m by 1.5m, as well as tools — embroidery threads, needles, and scissors.
