After the liberation of Greece in the first quarter of the 19th century, all male costumes in the Peloponnese took the form of the foustanela.  Extremely popular, this costume is now one of the world's most well-known traditional garment.

The costume worn in the towns of the Peloponnese was adopted as a model for the offical court dress of Amalia, the consort of Otto I, the first King of Greece.  The same type of dress was also worn in Athens.

- foustani or kavadi (open blouse), showing the embroidered chemise
- kondogouni (short fitted embroidered velvet jacket)
- fesi or kalpaki cap (larger for married women) with papaz (tassel) or braided gold thread ornaments
- kanaka (necklasce of gold coins)
