Re: Traditional textile dyeing techniques. Natural dyes
Japanese traditional natural dye called “akane”. It is the oldest red dye used in Japan. A perennial plant was used as the dye pigment. Also, you can see samples of fabric dyed with akane, but the process had to be repeated 20-30 times to get the dark red shade.

Re: Vietnamese traditional women's garments
Modern Vietnamese ao dai costume. The pattern is floral and very contemporary. But the cut of the garment is traditional. Looks so cute!

Re: Photos of Ukrainian traditional attire
Festive traditional apparel of Ukrainian married woman, the late 19th – early 20th century. Her wrap-around skirt “plakhta” with pompons at the bottom is especially cute. And her sleeveless outerwear is called “kersetka” – it’s embellished with beautiful velvet applique.
