Hungarian traditional costume

Hungarian traditional costume

The Hungarian traditional costume is a typical way of dressing of the Hungarians. The wear expressed the person's social place, age and different occasions. They wore different clothes on weekdays and on holidays. 

The traditional costume means the person's status, age, job and grade. So it showed almost everything about  a person. For example: on the men's hat the feather or the posy expressed if he is a child or a young man going on recruiting or a bridegroom.

The girls wore headdress called 'párta' wreath and ribbons. The married women wore pinnen.

Long time ago traditional dress was made at home by women. They made ordinary clothes and clothes for festivals. There were new fashioned clothes made of manufactured material and this was the work of craftsmen.

Parts of the traditional costume

Men's clothes were made of linen like shirts, drawers. The waistcoat and trousers were made of thick broad cloth. 

Women's wear includes skirts, apron and waistcoat.

In winter they wore bolero of Hungarian cut, ' dolmány ' and cloak. The underwear was plain and archaic.

They wore varied shoes made of leather. Women wore slippers, shoes and boots while men wore brogue and boots.

Headdresses were important too. For men hat, kuchma, for women wreath, pinner, headkerchief and headdress called 'párta' as well as jewels, hat ornaments and ribbons.

Women had traditional long hair. Just girls could walk with uncovered head and their hair was plaited and decorated with ribbons. Women wore different shaped and sized kerchief.

Men wore hat decorated with ribbon, feather or posy.

Spanish dance

"L'Alegria" (The happiness) is a traditional Spanish dance from the East of Spain. People -boys and girls alternatively- dance around a mast crossing and twinning ribbons. Music is played by a typical flute "dolçaina" and a small drum "tabalet", which use to accompany our traditional celebrations.

Perhaps you can remember This song. We learnt it together in Hungary. Try again! It's abaut spring wind and how everything comes to new life in spring.

Here you can see pupils from 5th grade (10-11 years old) singing in the Christmas Festival recently celebrated at the Culture House of Sant Joan d'Alacant. They played at this occasion two traditional songs "Mareta, mareta" (in valentian language) and "Aurtxoa seaskan" (in basque language) that you can listen one in the following link

Mareta, mareta

The lyrics say                  Phonetical transcription

Mareta, mareta                [Mare'ta, mare'ta]

anit vaig somiar               [anit' vatʃ somia']

la nina tenia                     [la ni'na teni'a]

bonicos els ulls,               [boni'kos els uʎs]

la cara molt fina               [la ka'ra mol fi'na]

i els cabells molt rulls      [i els kabeʎs' mol ruʎs]

And they mean, more or less

Sweet mom, sweet mom

tonight I dreamed

a little girl she had

pretty eyes,

a thin face 

and a curly hair
