From Badamba :
Dressed in practice are the same - upper garment with front slit that is closed with overlap and no obvious buttons or links, and decorative pieces hanging underarm. Around the neck, front slit armholes and has decorative strips. Under this dress tunic with a single triangle on the wrists. All that is stocked with richly decorated belts. The difference is color - Constantine is a red outer garment and tunic is all embroidered or woven with circles and entered into the double headed eagle. The second donor was a cyan outerwear tunic and red crosses, and the third - with green and red tunic dress. Schemes of the Serbian book "The Church of St. Nicholas in Stanichene" (authors Marko Popovic, Smiljko Gabelich, Branislav Cvetkovic and Popovic Bojan) and his tunic is adorned, but I personally do not. In the same book marked and legs, but only as a silhouette - or wear boots or shoe was lost.

Since the condition of the frescoes is very poor, older sketches and photographs show currently difficult to distinguish details of the costumes.
Badamba costume plans:
boyare :
The main benefactor is interesting upper garment made from two different tissue colors - red and white large black circles. This mode is distributed over the same period in the west and is known as "my party". Around the wrist and has a lace up porakava, probably slit with buttons. It is not clear how to cloak fastened, but I think his cut is not the same as Kaloyan of Boyana Church. Details of the belt is not visible and the legs have not reserved.
