Ms. Pup Tent
At first glance, I saw a woman in a cream-colored burkha. Sad comment on -- yes, my need for more coffee, but on a more serious note -- how these garments de-individualize, turn women into non-persons; basically covered patio furniture on the go. https://t.co/3coaVFfdVh

Burkas, yes, but objectively speaking some Islamic dress is much more beautiful than western if you ignore all the politics and such.I'm thinking of some east African ensembles I've seen, flowing robes and headscarvesin turquoise and pink... gorgeous.
The most beautiful dress world wide though is the sari, hands down. Which is not Islamic.

You can't beat mini Go-Go dresses.

The first thing I thought of was the previews for that new horror movie "The Nun."

I'm partial to several types of Central and Eastern European traditional folk dress. (Dirndls and whatnot, but not the slutty Halloween beer wench costume types.) OOOh, and lace!
I also love most of the traditional floral art like Rosmahling, Fileteado, Czech Easter eggs, etc.

Ooo, Snoopy those ARE pretty.
Sadly, our local traditional costume is rather boring. My husband is all, what's the use of a dirndl that doesn't show cleavage?!
No cool embroidery, intricate lace... nada! Not sure if it is because of poverty or Calvinism but when I compare it to some of the cantons...

Embrace the power of "and", tho I'll grant you that Calvinism was rather austere. The pictures in your link very much look like "Sunday go to meeting" clothing. Can't be showing off the naughty bits, you know?

@NicoleK,
Those dresses are nice, the options on my side are pantsuits:

Star Trek has shown us: they are the future!

Take the form of the dresses and the delicious fabrics of the pant suits and maybe we've got something....
