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.
