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.

tonight I dreamed
a little girl she had
pretty eyes,
a thin face
and a curly hair
