qipaos are so cute tbh i wish my regional dress from czechia wasnt so god damn absurd looking. clown level shit. polish and ukrainians were more reasonable with that stuff
This isn't that bad, tbh. Tunic + Underskirt + Skirt +Vest + Apron is a really common form of european dress (see, french maid outfits transfems like so much). I think the embroidery and lacework are cute and give a nice personal touch (the ruff on this one is a lot though, I don't think anyone would blame you for going with a victorian style collar).
yeah thats one of the better city / super small subregion based ones, but when it comes to national dresses its always the really weird poofy ones and those are the most common in parades and stuff. if you know much about embroidery and heraldry it usually has like, your birth city on the aprons and shit which is kinda cute.
It looks like modern ones are based on nationalist redesigns around the WW2 era. The flashy nature of them wouldn't have been typical of proles and peasants who tended to look more like this:
yeah im obviously aware that they didnt wear the poofy stuff every day, afaik the poofy was for parades and festivals and that is the only time theyre worn these days. it was supposed to be for special occasions. most old ass family pics of ours have dudes in straight up stalin lookin gear :stalin-gun-2:
Fair. I've worn historical style stuff in the past and was kind of a nerd about it. So I guess I find it a little sad when people don't see the value in it. Historical clothing construction is pretty solid and comfortable in its own way.
yeah my thing is its super expensive, even with me buying it in USD, to get one and id probably go with my father's birth city cause their style looks way less fuckin weird cause they were a bunch of country bumpkins that dont design good
usually you get it as a sort of coming of age gift by your weird grandparents and its a whole ordeal
Norwegians are really into their national dress and it is not unusual, especially for women, to own one. It is usually gifted when they are confirmed as teenagers and is made to last a lifetime and can be rather pricey. Many Norwegians wears their national dress for festive occasions like weddings instead of modern attire. In Denmark national dress is virtually nonexistent outside of folk dancing circles and it has a dusty and unsexy image. The Faroese and the Inuit of Kalaallit Nunaat sometimes wears national dress at state functions as a way to assert their identity to their colonial overlords.
Thinking about how early-2000s internet nazis would (e.g.) put a picture of Slavic women in traditional dress next to a picture of Ethiopian women with lip plates, and condescendingly ask you to decide which looks more 'civilized'. Then, if your answer diverges even slightly from the answer they're expecting, they don't have anything prepared to counter it, except "you're a liar."
dw that isnt nearly as bad as the harassment i got from one guy who found out i was trans through a loose lipped queer and basically stalked me and talked loudly about wanting to suck my dick to people

That is why you carry a sword with it. Evens out thr vibes
yeah so you can look like a creepy doll/loli that is ready to murder
Much less likely to recive comments though
if anyone finds that shit sexually attractive they are DERANGED
Men will find anything attractive as long as it is inconvenient for women to wear.

Clothing without pockets is a subtle form of bondage gear.

what, you don't like opera costumes a bunch of kulaks in the 1890s decided were "national dress"?
True

At least your regional dress doesn't have you dress like an elf with a pointy hat.
the dresses are super poofy and creepy looking so idk. there are some more subdued city based ones but yeah its pretty bizarre looking
Here are a bunch of Finnish people in various regional dresses:

IDK, I think most European national dresses just blend together
This old guy in green is looking pretty cool though:

Welsh women's national dress has basically a plant pot for a hat, so I get you.

idk how people think academia is a good time
And I was so naive as to think harassment in academia was just nerds holding grudges over nerd shit.
