National dress


Scotland

Scottish traditional dress has always fascinated me and here's a picture of a young girl in full traditional costume taking part ion a procession.
Wales

 One of my strongest recollections from the first time I ever set foot in Wales is seeing outside buildings and sometimes inside them to ladies dressed in traditional Welsh dress like this.

Doll collecting

One fascination I had in my junior years was collecting dolls in their individual national costumes partly as a gateway into finding out about different countries, customs and cultures and also because I just loved dolls with their pretty outfits.
The alpine regions of Italy, Switzerland and Austria also held a fascination for me too.
