It is done... I finally translated The Guide™ since some people were interested and I also promised it to @zoyazoy. Here's the original one in Czech and here's some embroidery patterns.

There might be some typos or mistakes, sorry for that, I had to look up some terms and I've got no clue if they're correct.

Hello, I love your art a lot, your excitement and love for national costumes are very infectious and touching! And you draw them beautifully! I’m actually Ukrainian and I thought maybe you’d like to see this book about the history of Ukrainian embroidery, for the pictures if for nothing else!! There’s another book, specifically with a lot of patterns, but it’s not so easy to link, unfortunately, which is a shame, because it’s truly a treasure!

This will help me draw more accurately now which is a good thing! I don't know how to thank you enough. I will absolutely put this to use! All the love to you and ukrainian around the world ♥

As a norwegian who also adores older styles of clothes, I think it's so cool to see people from other countries love and appreciate them too! And your art is SO CUTE!!

If you are interested in Norwegian costumes we call ours bunad, and the more modern, not regulated versions people make for themselves is called fantastistakk, which uses traditional shapes and patterns, but with fabrics people have at home (or you can pay a lot and have someone make one for you, like Eva Lie Design, check her out her designs are gorgeous 😭).

Our "official" bunads are regional and have standards like which fabrics, which colours, which jewelry and which accessories they can have, the fantasistakks are very open and you can make them with whatever fabrics, colours and accessories you want.

The Bunad! I actually plan on drawing Norwegian dress next actually! It’s on my list for a long time. It was one of the cutest dresses i saw and i love each variants of them . The nordic as a whole have so many beautiful dresses I want more people to see them too! And thank you so much for helpful tips, I will be sure to use these on my research. I won’t disappoint you I promise<3

Hellooo! The Kyjov folk dress you drew is lovely – much like the Polish, Slovak and Hungarian one.

If you ever decide to draw some Moravian dress again and wanna know how a certain garment or detail is supposed to look, I could help. I know a thing or two about our traditional clothing (embroidery, sewing patterns, how the older versions of the dresses looked and so on). Especially the Kyjov type :D

I actually have a whole guide on that one that I could translate to English if you were interested.

Thank you so much! I was so worried i might make some mistake drawing the dressesT_T glad the native person love it! I am so glad you willing to help me, sole info are a bit hard to find for someone outside of European hahaXD, but won’t stop me from drawing it! And of course I would love to see it, but if you have free times to translate of course! Im sure many people would love to understand folk dresses better. I want more people to draw about Czechia🥺💗

Seeing a non-European person drawing European clothes make me feel kinda understood because, same, I also like to draw Polish and Hungarian dresses even though I'm Latinamerican

Btw I love your art style!!

Omg isn’t it T_T?? We (non European) showing lots of love to our Europe friends!! The European dresses just really be hits different and I am all here for it XD!

Thank you so much<3 also little fun fact we Thais consider Latinamerican as our cousins! Hehe ㅤ♡

Your art is so beautiful!! And it's awesome to see some love for polish folk costumes 💕💕 i remember @wszczebrzyszynie posted a link to some scans a while ago of books about folk costumes, I've been looking through them and they're really useful :D

Thank you so much for helpful info!! I will definitely look through them. It’s really difficult finding info about folk dresses and draw them without making minor mistakes so this helped a lot! I can draw more accurately now. Lots of love for Polish friends ! 💗🇵🇱

I'm hungarian and I'm so so happy you drew something else instead of the most popular matyó embroidery and style!

It's beautiful, but it's basically the only folk pattern pushed as "THE hungarian folk" and I wish other areas got more representation as well

I’m glad I draw it correctly ! The thought of my arts gave more representation to other folk dress made me so happy T_T The Hungarian dresses are beautiful and I will absolutely draw more region ! It’s a little difficult since most info are in their native languages but it won’t stop me from trying to learn and draw more about them! Me ♡ Hungary
