Finally Deciding to Become a Slavic Fairytale Character | Making My Podlasie Folk Costume: Skirt

My Polish Traditional clothing obsession continues, so join me in making a traditional woollen skirt from the Podlasie region that spans the border of Eastern Poland and Western Belarus and Ukraine.
As usual when discussing Polish folk costumes, I cannot recommend the Stroje Ludowe website enough. strojeludowe.net a great research with history, photographs and some regions even include patterns! Although it is in Polish so quick heads up.

ah thats colorful >^O^< I love when the younger arn't afraid to keep family customs and traditions not to type cast but there are some really neat traditional clothes from europe in the various nations, the older people will sometimes still wear stuff even to this day and not just at folk festivals but the young its a rarer thing though some arn't as pragmatic to wear but some are quite functional and should not be afraid to embrace, mind you I done really wear anything super traditional but I do like to try to wear collared shirts and dress what was popular decades ago when I am doing hobbys like historical railroading but if I want to really fit the part I really ought to wear a fedora or or irish pancake hat like the rest of the guys when they dress period for events or for train trips, several seem to love what their grandpas would have enjoyed in 1940's and 50's time period, I would wear calf lenght pants but its just a bit odd and I get cold easy, so I wear for work and sunday a brand of non jean pant of old industral brands, like carhart or roundhouse, that go back over 100 years and might have been worn by the supervisors or a skilled trade that built the nation. and there is nothing wrong with being polish for all the jokes they are some of the most faithful catholics and the greatest of saints in the 20th century, and have the best sense of humor well most of them, there was one in the clergy that didn't like my sense of humor but he was one of the best scholars and teachers of the faith, and you could tell he laughed tons he had all the lines by his eyes, but he was no one you wanted to mess with comming from chicago and over 188.976 cm no one to pick a fight with.
