Clothing of the World

Items

A new shop has opened--Clothing of the World.

Shoe is the one running it! Click on his picture to go to the shop.

Since we got our HA bases I have wanted to have a shop dedicated to clothing from around the world, since I find other cultures' clothing so interesting. These are the first offerings I have:


Serbian


Scottish


Puerto Rican


Middle Eastern and Brazilian (respectively)


Korean


Javanese


Indian


Bulgarian

If you know the proper name for any of these items, let me know. Also, if you have any suggestions for clothes to add to this shop, post a link to a reference image, the culture, what the piece is called, etc :)

Especially if you know a holiday is coming up!! If there's some special clothing worn on a holiday, give me some reference pictures and a month's time heads up and I'll get 'em into the shop in time for the holiday.

Enjoy!

I think a Czech/Slovak Kroj (kroje is plural) would be beautiful and/or a German/Austrian Dirndl... as long as the dirndl isn't stereotypical slutty bar maid :(

The Japanese dress looks like a Cheongsam which is actually a Chinese dress.

I would love to see a Dirndl. This is a traditional short-dress from Bavaria and other alpine regions. Think Heidi or Octoberfest.

Here's an embroidered dirndl
Here's a new example for Octoberfest, which shows a fancier bodice, plus the blouse and apron

Maybe there should be hawaiian clothes? Like a shell lei, or something. I dunno.

Oooh I love the Japense and Puerto Rican accessories. I will be keeping my eyes peeled for them. Also the second scottish 'Skirt' is actually a 'Kilt'
