Slovenian Culture 101 in Photos

By Kerry Kubilius, About.com Guide

The traditional dress for a Slovenian woman consists of a shirt (usually white), skirt, apron, headscarf, and white socks, and may include a belt and scarf or a sash. As in other Eastern European national costumes, the Slovenian traditional dress varies by region. Folk costumes in Slovenia are most widely used for festivals, contests, or on holidays. Dancers wearing traditional dress also perform as a way to preserve and share Slovenia's culture.
