traditional cross-dressing on ukrainian malanka holiday. the woman is dressed as vasyl (folk adaptation of st. basil) and the man is dressed as malanka (folk adaptation of st. melania).

during this holiday, ukrainians honor the ancestral spirits and imitate them by dressing as animals and opposite genders, since it is believed that the otherworld blurs the line between male and female, as well as between man and beast.

my imagining of the tully girls, cat in blue and lysa in green :]]

i took most elements of their outfits from polish silesian traditional dresses, from the bytom region!!! i image they would only wear those costumes on rlly important occassions and usually wear much more casual wear, maybe more south (KL?) inspired :]]

im rlly hppy with this one !!

Braids & Ribbons🎀

In most Slavic cultures, it was a tradition for unmarried girls to have their hair in braids, and in some cultures, tied with a ribbon too.

Once a girl got married, she would have to tuck and hide her hair in a headdress, headscarf or cap/bonnet. (I will talk more about this in my next posts❤️)

In many cultures, as part of the marriage ceremony, girls would have their hair braided into two parts, then put into a crown hairstyle as shown above, before finally having their hair covered during or after the ceremony.

Braids and ribbons can symbolise a young girl's beauty and freedom❤️

In many areas, ribbons are worn on the tail of the braids as shown above, at the top from the Łowicz region, Poland🇵🇱 & from the Brest (Брест) region, Пружаны, Belarus🇧🇾❤️

An embellished ribbon from Očová, Slovakia🇸🇰❤️
