  tells that someone who had supposedly been bitten

  tempo to sweat the poison out.)

Greece

• Fustanella is a traditional skirt-like garment
  worn by men of many nations in the Balkans,
  similar to the Kilt. In modern times, the
  fustanella is part of traditional Albanian and 
  Greek dresses, worn mainly by ceremonial Greek
  military units and both Albanian and Greek folk
  dancers.

• Peplos is a body-length Greek garment worn by
  women before 500 BC. The garment is gathered
  about the waist and the open top pinned over the
  shoulders. The top of the tube drapes over the
  waist providing the appearance of a second piece
  of clothing.

• Chiton was a form of clothing worn by men and
  women in Ancient Greece. There are two forms of
  chiton, the Doric chiton and the
  later Ionic chiton. The "Doric" style was simpler
  and had no sleeves, being simply pinned, sewn, or
  buttoned at the shoulder. The "Ionic" style was
  made of a much wider piece of fabric, and was
  pinned, sewn, or buttoned all the way from the
  neck to the wrists and the excess fabric gathered
  by the zone. By the late Archaic, Ionic chitons
  had become less common, especially for men.

Latvia

• Latvian Folk Costumes derive from the "Sunday
  best" clothing that Latvians wore at festivals,
  weddings, and other major celebrations. Since
  this clothing was worn rarely, and was usually
  expensive to make the "fashion" of these clothes
  changed slowly especially if such clothing was
  handed down from generation to generation, as
  often seems to have been the case. Thus, it is
  not surprising that Latvian folk costumes often
  reflect the fashions of the 19th and even the
  18th century. There is no single national costume
  in Latvia, instead the clothing is distinctive
  from province to province.

Germany

• Tracht is a traditional national costume in
  German-speaking countries. Although the word is
  most often associated with Austrian and Bavarian
  costumes, many other people of Germany have them.

13

• Dirndl is a type of traditional dress worn in
  southern Germany,  Liechtenstein and A
  ustria, based on the historical costume
  of Alpine peasants. Dresses that are loosely
  based on the dirndl are known as Landhausmode.
  The dirndl consists of a bodice, blouse,
  full skirt and apron.

14

• Lederhosen ("leather trousers" in German) are
  knee-breeches (knickerbockers or shorts) made
  of leather. There is a widespread misconception
  that Lederhosen are a traditional national
  costume (Tracht) in German-speaking countries.
  They should rather be considered to
  be leisure wear for working-class men.

15
Turkey

• The fez or Tarboosh is either a red felt hat in
  the shape of a truncated cone, or in the shape of
  a short cilinder made of kilim fabric. Both
  usually have tassles. The fez originated
  in Ancient or Byzantine Greece, later finding
  popularity in the Ottoman Empire.

16

• Yashmak is a Turkish type of veil or niqab worn
  by many Muslim women to cover their faces in
  public.
• Unlike an ordinary veil, yashmak contains a
  head-veil and a face-veil in one, thus consisting
  of two pieces of fine muslin, one tied across the
  face under the nose and the other tied across the
  forehead draping the head.
• Yashmak can also contain a piece of black
  horsehair attached close to the temples and
  sloping down like an awning to cover the face, or
  it can be a veil covered with pieces of lace,
  having slits for the eyes, tied behind the head
  by strings and sometimes supported over the nose
  by a small piece of gold.

17

• Salwar kameez is a traditional dress worn by
  both women and men in South and Central part of
  Asia. It is widely believed that Shalwar Kameez
  was originated from Afghanistan and was spread
  out in neighboring countries especially in
  India. Salwar or shalwar are loose pyjama-like tro
  users. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow
  at the ankle. The kameez is a long shirt or
  tunic. The side seams (known as the chaak), left
  open below the waist-line, give the wearer
  greater freedom of movement.

18
Lithuania

• There are four regions in Lithuania.
  Aukstaitija, Zemaitija, Dzukija and Suvalkija.
  Each region has its own traditional costumes for
  men and women. When travelling through the
  regions it is very common to meet people in their
  colourful costumes at a festival or a religious
  celebration.
