Abstract
This paper investigates the Traje à Vianesa, a Portuguese traditional costume, focused on the abundance of textile craftsmanship. The study aims to discuss the preservation of technical knowledge through the documentation of related data. A qualitative methodology - relevant literature review, observation, in situ, and interviews to experts -, was used. Certain books, specifically the costume accreditation book approach the garment concerning its preservation in terms of original typology. Results suggest that, despite the existent bibliography, there is still comprehensive information to be compiled and documented (e.g., pattern making and technical know-how). This data should contribute to the local community and to inform contemporary projects as researchers/designers occasionally look into historical objects to investigate and gain perspective on methods and processes. This new understanding should help, not only the systematization of techniques refined through the ages but, also, to create awareness related to identity and cultural heritage.
