Every country has it’s own unique features: • Language • Cuisine • Attribute (anthem, blazon, flag) • Costumes We are going to present the national costumes of the countries which take part in our project (Italy, Greece, Latvia, Germany, Turkey, Lithuania).
Italy These clothes are used for dancing Tarantella (National Italian dance. The original legend tells that someone who had supposedly been bitten by the tarantula spider had to dance to an upbeat tempo to sweat the poison out.)
Greece Fustanella is a traditional skirt-like garment worn by men of many nations in the Balkans, similar to the Kilt. In modern times, the fustanella is part of traditional Albanian and Greek dresses, worn mainly by ceremonial Greek military units and both Albanian and Greek folk dancers.
Peplos is a body-length Greek garment worn by women before 500 BC. The garment is gathered about the waist and the open top pinned over the shoulders. The top of the tube drapes over the waist providing the appearance of a second piece of clothing.
Chiton was a form of clothing worn by men and women in Ancient Greece. There are two forms of chiton, the Doric chiton and the later Ionic chiton. The "Doric" style was simpler and had no sleeves, being simply pinned, sewn, or buttoned at the shoulder. The "Ionic" style was made of a much wider piece of fabric, and was pinned, sewn, or buttoned all the way from the neck to the wrists and the excess fabric gathered by the zone. By the late Archaic, Ionic chitons had become less common, especially for men.
Latvia Latvian Folk Costumes derive from the "Sunday best" clothing that Latvians wore at festivals, weddings, and other major celebrations. Since this clothing was worn rarely, and was usually expensive to make the "fashion" of these clothes changed slowly — especially if such clothing was handed down from generation to generation, as often seems to have been the case. Thus, it is not surprising that Latvian folk costumes often reflect the fashions of the 19th and even the 18th century. There is no single national costume in Latvia, instead the clothing is distinctive from province to province.
Germany Tracht is a traditional national costume in German-speaking countries. Although the word is most often associated with Austrian and Bavarian costumes, many other people of Germany have them.
Dirndl is a type of traditional dress worn in southern Germany, Liechtenstein and Austria, based on the historical costume of Alpine peasants. Dresses that are loosely based on the dirndl are known as Landhausmode. The dirndl consists of a bodice, blouse, full skirt and apron.
Lederhosen ("leather trousers" in German) are knee-breeches (knickerbockers or shorts) made of leather. There is a widespread misconception that Lederhosen are a traditional national costume (Tracht) in German-speaking countries. They should rather be considered to be leisure wear for working-class men.
Turkey The fez or Tarboosh is either a red felt hat in the shape of a truncated cone, or in the shape of a short cilinder made of kilim fabric. Both usually have tassles. The fez originated in Ancient or Byzantine Greece, later finding popularity in the Ottoman Empire.
Yashmak is a Turkish type of veil or niqab worn by many Muslim women to cover their faces in public. Unlike an ordinary veil, yashmak contains a head-veil and a face-veil in one, thus consisting of two pieces of fine muslin, one tied across the face under the nose and the other tied across the forehead draping the head. Yashmak can also contain a piece of black horsehair attached close to the temples and sloping down like an awning to cover the face, or it can be a veil covered with pieces of lace, having slits for the eyes, tied behind the head by strings and sometimes supported over the nose by a small piece of gold.
Salwar kameez is a traditional dress worn by both women and men in South and Central part of Asia. It is widely believed that Shalwar Kameez was originated from Afghanistan and was spread out in neighboring countries especially in India. Salwar or shalwar are loose pyjama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the ankle. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams (known as the chaak), left open below the waist-line, give the wearer greater freedom of movement.
Lithuania There are four regions in Lithuania. Aukstaitija, Zemaitija, Dzukija and Suvalkija. Each region has it’s own traditional costumes for men and women. When travelling through the regions it is very common to meet people in their colourful costumes at a festival or a religious celebration.
