I just adore the Hungarian folk costume - it is full with the finest hand made embroidery, needlework and it is very colourful. Wild reds, greens, blues, yellows make the soul smiling. And it fits for every figure - nice on the slim ones, and makes the curvy ones even more desirable. Unfortunately no Hungarian women wear these ones nowadays, just on parades or in the tourist shops.
My daughter learn about the antique Egyptians this year. So she had a lot of ideas about how a real women pharaoh shoul look like. Definitely with a lot of gold. That is understandable - she is not just a princess, but a living Godess.
This is my favourite epoche - the rococo. I love the big white wigs, the colourful materials and the generous size of the dresses. This is excatly how a princess should look alike. My daughter said, this must be all pink (with a lot of different shades) but it is not a must.
I always thought, that the robe of the ancient greeks was white. But actually I have checked a fashion history book, and turns out, there was a lot of colour in that times. Even the elegand, white temples were really colourful. Same with the tunics. So, use the whole rainbow, mainly the purple, the red, the blue and the green. Forget about picturing the boring, well-behaved nice white dresses - the life was much more colourful in that days!
