Traditional Clothing - Tumblr Posts
I may have gone a little bananas and full on drew personifications of most portuguese regions (still,a few many missing) just because of some traditional clothing i saw for each region from an old sewing machine booklet
Like these for examples of what ill (better in the future) draw full illustrations
Notable mention that i, for the life of me, couldnt draw side profiles and suddenly now i can?

Please excuse the umbrella and I tried drawing them in traditional clothing but I don’t trust the websites I used so they may not be historically accurate.

Here’s a work in progress I’d be more than happy to get behind, especially if the deel from my culture is on the way. A male equivalent would be even better when this is completed. Nucaktek Asirpa (Happy New Year).
World traditional costumes, super cute project by Pauline Otaka. You can find merch (stickers+cards) on her Etsy shop :D
I love that for Japan, besides furisode coming of age dress (3rd pic), she also drew outfits for both Hokkaido (Ainu attus coat) and Okinawa/Ryukyu (yotsudake dance costume)

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
I really love pink clothes

all your clothes are probably plastic.
all synthetic/artificial fibers are plastic.
acrylic? plastic. spandex? plastic. polyester? plastic. nylon? plastic. satin? plastic. rayon? plastic. microfiber? plastic. faux fur? plastic. faux leather? plastic.
plastic does not keep you warm, it will trick you by being soft and fluffy. no matter how cute that top is you need to remember that corporations make your clothes out of fucking plastic because its cheaper and can be sold to us for the same price as natural fibers because they think we aren’t paying attention. if you want to help the environment and/or even just the general population of consumers, then invest in natural fibers. check tags and descriptions before you buy, show these companies that we are paying attention. the way to stop or slow down fast fashion is to stop buying plastic clothes, natural fibers will last longer, probably through hundreds of washes. they will keep you warmer, they wont melt or pill in the washer dryer, they wont last hundreds of thousands of years longer than you will.
yes, high quality, cotton, wool, silk, cashmere, linens can be pricy since there just arent that many manufacturers who produce clothes with them right now. but i promise you, i promise, if you buy one clothing item made from a natural fiber rather than three or so made from those plastic fibers, then you will be making a difference and you will be getting your moneys worth. of course, if you cant afford it then thats a different issue, you come first, try some thrift shops, some consignment stores, next time you’re looking for something new.

Progress on my current project ! Having some with stripes and slashing this time around. Didn't take any progress photos for the hosen/pants because it broke my brain a little, lol. I also started doing fingerloop braiding for the lacing cords.

Iran Fashion Week: The Parthian Empire 247 B.C.– 224 A.D.
They were a major Iranian political and cultural power in ancient Iran. Influences of Greek art and fashion can be seen in Parthian art and fashion. The most common Parthian costume was loose trousers and shirts (Tunic) with belt. All the details of Parthian costumes suggest the influence of Greek architecture. The role of fine and decorative motifs on the clothes that are repeated with a certain rhythm that looks like chains coming together to form a diamond or circle.
