Having fallen into disuse at the beginning of the twentieth century, the female Gaby costume was brought back into vogue for folkloristic purposes after the last world war.

The dress is made of black cloth and is made up of a tight waist, ankle-length skirt and a long-sleeved bodice sewn together.
Over the dress, the apron brightens the dark shade of the dress with its brocaded or iridescent silk; it is sewn in narrow folds, held together by a velvet ribbon that acts as a belt.
To enrich the costume, also the shawl, square in shape with long fringes, in assorted silk and coordinated with the apron.
The most original element of the costume is undoubtedly the headdress made up of a halo of lace and a white tulle background framed by a composition of flowers and fruits, as well as an iridescent silk ribbon that falls on the back.
It is customary to decorate the costume with some jewels: a cross and a small gold heart suspended from a black velvet ribbon, beaded necklaces and gold pins used to fasten the bib of the apron to the bodice.
