Yesss! Finally, more FolkTube! This vid was so carefully put together, I have to congratulate you on how you're striving to present with as much accuracy and detail as possible! It was really wonderful to see how the Finnish "folk costume to national costume pipeline" is (in some ways) alike, but also different from the Hungarian one. I'm really looking forward to finding out more through your journey 🌷✨

Oh, thank you! I love your videos as well. I think folk style is probably more appreciated in Hungary than here in Finland but maybe it’s making a comeback! I think making national costumes has been made a bit too difficult due to hard-to-get materials and instructions. But there’d be so much cool things to learn from them.

Ooooooh good luck with the weaving!

It's a beautiful traditional costume. My favourite part is the way the stripes meet in the back of the vest. Can't wait to see your finished outfit!

That was so fasinating. All the research you did on this project was amazing.im really looking forward to seeing the finished costume. Good luck on the weaving, that looks like a lot of work.

This is a wonderful project and thank you for the fascination insight into the history of Finnish national costumes. I really admire your determination to learn all the skills you need to complete this. You are multi talented!

What a wonderful project! I’ve been dreaming of making traditional Hungarian folk garments for years, but given that I live in California which lacks a large Hungarian community, and given that my Hungarian father never taught me the language, this projects had languished near the bottom of my sewing list.

Hungarian folk costumes are so beautiful. I like watching the videos @PrettyShepherd makes and she combines Hungarian folk styles to modern clothes. Perhaps you could do something similar.

Thank you! I’m glad that the research gets noticed! I want to offere more than just sewing videos since there are so many of those already. Especially now that I make something that is not so well known. I’m trying to explain the context as well.

The history is so interesting and I look forward to seeing more of the process. Thank you!

Interesting. I was suspecting that all the costumes we see at the LLangollen International Eisteddfod were revivals revived.This is how our Welsh national costume originated. Lady Kidwelly dressing up her serving and other staff on the estate to look as though they were in the Jacobean era. Now it is worn by every girl at school on Saint David's day and assumed by outsiders to be anciently ancient . Real costume evolved just as fashion does today and as people came back to Wales as soon as the ice retreated there have been endless changes. We do teach our children the truth of the tradition allong with the dances which I suspect are older than the costumes. Lllangollen is a great event with spontaneous dances erupting all over the streets and holding up the traffic to say nothing of the competitions between world choirs on the maes. Unfortunately it is just music and dance the serious bardic competitions are only at the National Eisteddfod

Yes. Exactly. The ”traditional” dress is just a product of a certain era. It may evolve more slowly than fashion bit it does change. Otherwise we would still wear peploses buckled at the shoulders! It was fun to read about Welsh traditions. I’ve always wanted to visit Wales because Of the books by Susan Cooper I read as a kid.
