Romanian folk costumes

[Finnish Swede]

I think the hand made version of the Romanian traditional clothing would be expensive but I bet there is a cheap Chinese made version of the Romanian blouse pattern that is sold online.

Chine?



Once in lifetime I agree with Trump....

To buy a complete hand-made costume can be pretty expensive.

Yup ... Norwegians Bunads reaches easily 4000euros.

yes, same

That needs to be big sum of money for average Romanian?

It is me too (to put clothes). My granny bought mine for me as a graduation gift.

I know Weirdlookingfellow has some very nice hand-made folk costumes from his grandparents. To buy a complete hand-made costume can be pretty expensive.

They don't seem that expensive, considering that one would wear them on very rare ocassions, so the chance of it deteorirating from wear is low.

romanians don't buy them in general. most people do not own one, some of them people inherit them from grandparents. they are on sale but mostly for collection purposes. they can get very expensive because it can take months to make one...and each model is unique. imagine to sew something like this manually

Yes, it takes time to make handmade clothes.

This is mine (Southern Sweden costume):




Are those different models connected to some special area of Romania or are all of them someway ''fine'' to all people in Romania (no matter where one comes from)?

In which situations you normally wear your national/folk costumes? Independence Day?
Other big celibrations (any typical examples)?
