First time I ever wore a Tai outfit, taken at a wedding last summer.

My goodness those things are made for modesty. At least it's easier to walk with, compared to kimono or qi pao.

These people really have crazy gorgeous costumes.

I'm a sucker for clothes worn by Chinese opera singers, however... especially the headdresses and ornaments.

My friend is taking me to flamenco classes, starting next week. Maybe one day I can look just as suave. Hah.

I agree. Their jewelry is amazing as well.

I was curious about the traditional dress of Siberians, and found this site: nrsm.nsc.ru/sibir/abor/peopleq.htm

One of the pictures of a little girl on that site.

^Ooh! Arctic folks have interesting costumes. It really shows that people's cultures develop according to their environment. Here are a few pictures:
The Evenki people

The Sakha Turks (They're mostly Altaic people with slight Slavic elements)

She's like a eurasian-looking pope-knight who doesn't want to be there.

If you want to see (literally) a BEAUTIFUL Cheongsam in every scene of the movie watch:
"In the Mood for Love" by Wong Kar Wai
Maggie Cheung graces a different cheongsam in every scene...and they are simply beautiful. The follow up "2046" also features Zhang Ziyi wearing more gorgeous cheongsams.

Also what really caught my attention was Zhang Ziyi wearing a typical aristocratic costume in the scene where she's painting calligraphy & entertaining Michelle Yeoh...here's a pic from another scene in the movie where she is wearing something similar;

whats a laplander?

Laplander... Lappish... or some refer to them as "Saamis." They're a people residing in modern day Sweden, Finland, and Norway and parts of Latvia, Russia. They are originally an Asian ethnic group who lived a nomadic life and eventually travelled up to modern day Northern Europe. You can still see their Asian features even though they've mixed with Europeans for millenia.
