Dutch girl in traditional Sunday clothing

  1. The golden ornaments are called ‘Oor ijzers’. They were mostly worn in the northern provinces and Zeeland, in the south.

  2. I know it’s not but this image looks like what an AI would produce if you asked for a “traditional Dutch girl dressed for Sunday back in the 19th century”

  3. It always feels like people in other countries are much more in tune with how their country used to be? Maybe it’s just me but I never learned about stuff like this, and I’m not sure where I should

  4. I think that it is good that when jimmy Nelson made this book about indigenous people of continents or countries that he also chose some of the countries that are often only seen as the ones from the advanced world

  5. Currently “Het Zeeuws Museum” in Middelburg has a temporary exposition on this. This includes a video with a elegant “striptease” of a man and woman in traditional upper class period clothes; taking them off in a beautiful artistic way. It shows you how many layers, strings, pins, accessories and especially actions, were necessary to get (un)dressed. This temporary exposition is small, but for the video, I would recommend it anyway because it shows something most of us, including myself, have no clue about from Dutch history.

  6. Ik zag deze foto als onderdeel van een fotoshoot in een magazine op mijn vlucht met KLM gisteren. De hele shoot ging over traditionele Nederlandse kledij.
