Dress the Part

Second appearance of Sister Faroes, and first appearance of Sister Greenland! History was made today.

I'm amazed by how much culture you have for so few people. Greenland and Faroe Islands barely have more population than a couple of housing estates we have here, never mind a single district in our city.

@VoidTorcher
It's not that surprising, for individual cultures to form, a certain amount of seperation from other cultures is needed, and all of these countries/islands are rather secluded in one way or another (except for Denmark I guess).
That being said the seperation between the different housing estates of Hong-Kong probably doesn't consists of mountains or oceans.

Here's one of the Finnish national dresses (we have many local too!) http://www.kansallispuvut.fi/puvut/munsala_np.htm (think this is the most used when people talk about Finnish national dress)

Where I'm from we have these for men: http://www.kansallispuvut.fi/puvut/etelapohjanmaa_mp.htm
(yep, the knife belongs with the outfit)

The only time Sister Sweden is in an unrecealing outfit. This time must be recorded.

Norway` s budnad isn't just one national dress. Its supposed to show where you are from, which village, town or city. They are so different. Its your pride.

I have the trønder budnad btw :3

@NorseNorwegian Cool name you got

WAIT! Where's Sister Finland...?

but, what about Iceland? and Finland? does they have a national costume?

@EUcomicartist Finland has too many: http://www.kansallispuvut.fi/ .

@EUcomicartist Iceland has a few... http://buningurinn.is/

Happy national costumes day! Tomorrow is the official day for airing (show up in) your national costume in Finland:
[ http://www.kalevalaistennaistenliitto.fi/kulttuuritoiminta/ajankohtaiset-tapahtumat/tapahtumat/kansallispukujen-tuuletuspaiva-5.8..html ]. I just got my very own national costume of the home area, and I'm so happy to wear it first time in public <3

Btw, it's the same way here in Finland than in Denmark. I think we don't have one official national costume for Finland. Instead every province and even single small towns has their own national costumes. Costumes of towns are often modified from the province costume/province costume is a mix of costumes of the area; sometimes national costume of the area is a reconstruction of old costume (for example Perniö costume is reconstructed from 12th century dress). To someone interested in, there's Finnish national costumes according to districts: [ http://www.kansallispuvut.fi/index.htm ]. It's pretty interesting; when you get into event where people wear national costumes, you might know where a person comes from just by looking at their dress!

We are very good at dressing, excuse you. Look at that fabulous dress! Best one if you ask me.

OMG I'M SO HAPPY! Sister Sweden looks like a Swede! Finally! This is how I like her more, of course. SatW can design her however they want, but this is the best so far! This is how I Think she chould look like.

In Wales the women have the traditional red shawl, tall laced black hat, black and white apron, white shirt and long red skirt. The men have a rugby top.

@bast13 Most Welsh girls I've seen must be men, then. ;)
