And this is how Ukrainian women do head dresses. Forget the text and look at the photos. Cool, eh?

  1. You could totally do a personality test from those.

    Were headdresses mainly a wedding and/or holiday thing in Ukraine? They seem to have been common all over Europe east of Germany and Italy.

    In Poland, where most people wanted to divest themselves of folk culture, they never became an important part of modern folklore performance though I did find this towering structure from a hundred years or so ago.

    I also found this amazing, central Asian looking headdress from Czech

    The weirdest is this massive thing from Bulgaria in which flowers are used to cover the face as a wedding veil.
