Extractions: From: Indiana German Heritage Society Newsletter, Fall 1996, Vol. 12, Issue 4 When volunteering to work at a German-American event or an International fair, you may be told to "come in costume." Meant is usually the stereotypical Bavarian Dirndl for the gals and white shirt and Lederhosen for the guys. Dirndl dress and Lederhosen are folk-style clothes and as such are costumes; they are city folks' image of simple country life. It's something one puts on to be, for a little while, something one is not. Much to the amusement of visitors from German- speaking areas, our outfits vaguely resemble "Tracht" worn in the Alpine regions of Bavaria and Austria. Together with Oktoberfests, Germanfests, Strassenfests and wives/war brides, they were brought over by the GIs, stationed in Southern Germany. About the many and rich variations of earlier garment brought from other German-speaking regions little is known today. A "Tracht" is a traditional garment typical of a certain area. The word "Tracht" is related to the verb "tragen," "to wear." Before the leveling effect of urbanization, native dress was always bound to a given place, a specific social unit, and a local culture. This explains the great regional diversity. In his article " About Dialects and High German " (Spring 1996, Vol. 12, Issue 2) Eberhard Reichmann showed vastly different dialect and cultural areas from which German-speaking people came and still come. Each region not only has its own dialect, it also has its own set of customs and traditions, including dress.

Extractions: Kroje (Folk Costumes)Links to the Past Folk costume has been defined as the visible, outward badge of folk-group identity, worn consciously to express that identity. In the peasant cultures of Europe, identity was determined geographically, and local costumes expressed locality, region, or province (1). The traditional folk costume of Bohemia and Moravia (and Slovakia) is called Kroje. In a history of Slovak Folk Costumes, it is written: Although the same basic articles of clothes constitute as components of the folk costumes throughout the Czech lands, the shapes, colors, designs, and decorations of these components varies greatly. There are many varieties of costumes (kroje) in Czechoslovakia, wrote Ms. Willa Mae Cervenka in the June 1992 issue of the eský hlas Out of approximately 550 costumes, 27 are more familiar to us because they bear the names of important cultural centers Each county has its own costume, but each village within that county varies just a bit. The differences among the costumes can be explained by the different geographical positions and influences by neighboring cultures. To a great extend, the appearance of the kroje depends, not only on the district of origin, but also on the purpose for they were used. Fine distinguishing features such as embroidery, colors, shapes of designs, ornaments, flowers, and the style of the womans blouses, kerchiefs, lace, etc. characterized the locality. They were so distinctive that an expert could identify the origin of each costume. (3)
Belarusian Traditional Clothing and disappearence of the ethnic elements in the contemporary costume of belarusians. The traditional ethnic clothing is still being a source of the http://www.belarusguide.com/culture1/clothing/
Extractions: Clothing Clothing is an important ethnic feature of the nation. The origins of Belarusian clothing tradition lie in the ancient Kiewan Rus'. The moderate continental climate, long winter and mild summer required a closed, warm clothing. Fabrics The clothing of "mahnat"(big landlords) and city aristocracy was developing within the Western European tradition. It was made out of expensive fabrics, decorated with golden and silver embroidery, precious stones, colored buttons. The important composites of male dress were satin "z^upan"(a dressing gown) with "kuntus^"(coat, caftan?) on top of it, a long belt, wolf or beaver fur. The female clothes included "fereziia", "hazuka", "c^amara"(different types of blouse), decorated on the sides with ornaments or the fur of sobol, marten or fox. The aristocratic clothing has started to simplify at the end of XVIII c. Here you can see an example of the aristocratic clothing reconstruction as it was in XVI-XVII cc demonstrated in the court of Radzivil's Castle in Niasvizh The folk dress was influencing the costume of aristocracy and was influenced itself by an aristocratic clothing. The belarusian costume of XVI-XVI c was enriched with new elements like "andarak" (a type of coat), "harset" (a type of top blouse) and with new principles of wearing - the technics of tieing. The siluet became tighter to figure and was more reflecting Renaissance attitude to the world. The tendencies in costume at this time were general strictness, majority of white color in some elements, traditional combination of white and red colors, geometrical ornaments - in accordance with the eastern-slavic tradition of clothing.
