I did a little research about Portuguese traditional costume for women and found out that although it typically varies by region, normally it consists of bouffant long skirt for women. The skirt is called saia and is of vibrant checkered or striped pattern. Well I shouldn't be surprised myself, hailing from a country that was a Spanish colony for 300+ years! The same item of clothing is called saya, in my lingua franca.

ReplyDeleteI find it fascinating that traditional costumes from all over the world often have much in common as well as lots of little details being different.
ReplyDeleteA great idea for the weekend - sorry I didn't have time to enter.
ReplyDeleteI like the first card's eccentuation of the skirt.
