Folk costumes

What a beautiful thread , you won't believe me but I was thinking to start it myself , here in Italy women hardly dress in traditional clothes , it actually happens only in the south , I had a girl who was from Sardinia , our most archaic region , over there there's still a strong affect for traditions and identity , women quite often wear classical vests , their mums made it by hand , they are so precious and literally cost thousands of euros.

Sardinians are very proud of their identity and I've to confess I find women in clothes very sexy , they're so feminine.
More to come of course...

the singing bells mean the chains who kept the laborer slave to the master , the dark faces the tan due to working from dawn to sunset in the fields.

Here in our country the tradition of wearing traditional folk costumes or klederdracht is unfortunately as good as dead.
But here are some samples from Spakenburg, a nearby former fishing village.
