Today I gonna write a little about traditional dresses. I think them are beautiful and they tell a lot about the country. Unfortenally I don’t own Finnish traditional dress yet, but it’s my dream to own one someday. But I do own yukata (from Japan) and dirndl (from Germany) As some of you already know I am interested of both countries so it’s not a suprise if I own something from both countries First I gonna talk a little about dirndl, and then yukata.
Dirndl
A dirndl is traditional dress worn in Germany – especially Bavaria, but also in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and South Tyrol, based on the historical costume of Alpine peasants.).A dirndl skirt generally describes a light circular cut dress, gathered at the waist, that falls below the knee.
The dirndl consists of a bodice, blouse, full skirt and apron.
The dirndl is mostly worn in Bavaria and Austria. It is used as an everyday dress primarily by older women in rural areas. Other women may wear it at formal occasions and during certain traditional events. It is hugely popular also among young women at the Oktoberfest ( I love to go in Oktoberfest some year so I could wear my dirndl in there and drink beer, haha) in München (and similar festivals).
A yukata is a Japanese garment, a casual summer kimono usually made of cotton or synthetic fabric, and unlined. Traditionally yukata were mostly made of indigo-dyed cotton but today a wide variety of colors and designs are available. As with kimono, the general rule with yukata is that younger people wear bright, vivid colors and bold patterns, while older people wear dark, matured colors and dull patterns. A child may wear a multicolored print and a young woman may wear a floral print, while an older woman would confine herself to a traditional dark blue with geometric patterns. Men in general may wear solid dark colors. Yukata are worn at outdoor summer events such as hanabi (fireworks) festival. Yukata are also worn at Japanese inns ryokan after bathing
O my, both photos of me are quite old. I’m glad that I found them on my laptop. Anyhow, I love to have a new apron with my dirndl. I also like to have tsuke obi. Tsuke obi ( 付け帯) or tsukuri obi (作り帯) is any ready-tied obi. It often has a separate, cardboard-supported knot piece and a piece that is wrapped around the waist. The tsuke obi is fastened in place by ribbons. And I like to have coz it is easy to wear with yukata.
Till next time~~
