Feestrok (Rijksmuseum)
The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses an example of a so-called feestrok. These 'celebratory skirts' were made as part of a large-scale programme to celebrate the liberation of The Netherlands from German occupation in 1945. They were forms of patchwork. A comparable feestrok is held by the Textile Research Centre in Leiden (TRC 2011.0001). For further information on this programme, see here.
