    As someone with Lithuanian ancestry (Aukštaitija), there's only one thing to say: Great thread!

    Just thought I'd post a side by side comparison with the contemporary examples based on authentic clothes from the end of 19th century that were worn within the boundaries of the modern day Lithuania:




    Examples of those authentic clothes in Vilnius' Museum:



    As they are worn by children folk groups:




    Pictures of clothing in ethnographic region Aukstaitija, summer of 1930:

    That looks really beautiful.
    I'm always doubtful when claims about authenticity of folks costumes are made today.
    Well, these must indeed by authentic.
    There are 19th century sources in Prussia that complain about the disappearance among Lithuanians of these colourful dresses and the quality of their yarns.

    Authentic medieval headdressed (wimples) used to be made from the finest linen cloths but at home an improvised wimple could be made from a bedsheet. The cloth should be ~3m (10ft) long & 0.5 - 0.7m (1,6 - 2,3ft) wide.

    Italian women abandoned their headcloths already in the 15th century but in some areas of the Baltics this was an everyday accessory up until the early 20th century. Its origin can be traced back to the early Medieval period when wimple was popular all over Europe - the Wife of Bath and the Prioress are depicted wearing them in Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales".
    Nowadays the tradition is carried on by the folk ensembles and singers in North-Eastern Lithuania (Aukštaitija).

    Balt grls have strange obsession about folk costumes, jinglebels and rooftops. They can go on and on. It's fascinating to observe (the fetish not the costumes, costumes are boring tbh).

    Their traditional costumes and women who are showing off the costumes are beautiful. There is never enough of it.

    It's even more interesting to observe that you say you're fascinated by the strange fetishes Balt girls have

    Since you mentioned jinglebels & rooftops, you're obviously having the recent thread at ABF in mind, right?
