    Klumpė(clog)
    A clog is a type of footwear made in part or completely from wood. Clogs are used worldwide and although the form may vary by culture, within a culture the form often remained unchanged for centuries.

    I have to say that I was really really happy that I finally got this apology, birds were singing and all. But then that you'd right after this repeat your offense (call me creep).. that is just crushing and really low of you (Phew, such a rollercoaster!). It then made me question the whole seriousness of your apology and actually no, I don't think it was a serious apology. I really have to wonder why you would do this.. other than maybe you want to apologize me again maybe?

    Well anyway dresses look nice and all I guess

    Under the influence of the evangelical Stundenhalter/surinkiminkai movement (second half of 19th century) among Prussian-Lithuanians the colourful dresses disappeared and gave way to darkish clothes, almost Amish-like. Unfortunately this also impacted other secular folk traditions negatively.

    Reminds me of this Prussian saying:
    "Round Insterburg there live 5000 Lithuanians and 5000 shoemakers."

    http://fashionmission.edublogs.org/c...onal-costumes/

    Eduard Gisevius (1798-1880) left about 150 paintings of women and girls of the Lower Nemunas area in formal dress; the paintings were housed in the Museum of Königsberg until World War II.

    Gisevius, especially impressed by one experience, wrote that this eyes were opened “by a new fantasy -freeing scene: my whole attention was suddenly drawn to the women and maidens… Their very traditional and unpretentious but eye-appealing apparel was a remarkable sight, in sharp contrast with the drab clothing of the men in their grey homespun coarse woollen jackets and blue woollen jerseys. Adorned with expensive otter, the individually styled blue fur coats were embellished along the shoulders and upper back with golden gallons, light and dark yellow borders, parallel zigzags and arcs; tied with a long, wide, multicoloured woven sash with a tick fringe at the ends, these fur coats slightly gathered at the waist, did not hide a fine figure; they were so different from every other such apparel, that it would be appropriate to acknowledge them as a century-old garment untouched by the waves of fashion. Ingeniously embroidered long linen kerchiefs embellished with delicate crocheting hung down just bellow the elbows, yet still revealed the garment’s decorative borders, and made one forget that he was viewing a simple village girl. The most tasteful of all her ornaments, and without doubt taking much time and even additional kelp to arrange, was her hairdo. The elegant effect was achieved neither with curls, nor with elaborate chignons and pompadours, but with shining hair simply parted in the middle and crowned by two delicate braids, adding a particular fascination to the woman, besides the fact that no wind, storm, or whirl-wind dance could even lay a hair amiss”.
