Features of folk costumes

All folk costumes of the world have their own characteristics. For example, the Georgian national costume was formed in Tbilisi, the capital. The main feature of the Georgian people is the ability to dress exquisitely. Despite the situation in society, the nation adhered to a single style, so it does not matter whether it's a noble family or a daughter of an ordinary artisan - the costume should have been elegant and emphasize grace. The woman's costume consisted of a long dress with a flared skirt. The sleeves were usually up to the elbow, under which were worn original handcuffs, embroidered by hand. At the waist, women tied a belt of cloth, which was decorated with beads, embroidery, pearls and gold threads. Also all women had to cover their heads.

Japan, the country of the rising sun, is also famous for its original exquisite outfits. A traditional outfit from the second half of the 19th century is a kimono. Kimono hides not only all the shortcomings of the figure, but also dignity. The Japanese believe that the smaller the bulges, the more perfect and beautiful the constitution of the body looks.

The Chinese folk costume is tsipao. This outfit is notable for its elegance, because it emphasizes feminine attractiveness and femininity. The dress has a fairly simple cut, but the special feature of the outfit is in the presence of a collar-stand. The edges of the dress are trimmed with a golden ribbon, and the main decoration is the presence of a traditional ornament.
