The Bigouden headress is high and tends to represent the Breton headress, but it was only worn in the south of our "county". http://vspv.free.fr/accueil/bigouden.htm Each part had its own headress and they are as spectacular: http://www.lepenven.eu/coiffe.html The headresses worn in Macedonia are like " une pièce montée": do they have feathers? The similarities between the Kalash headress and the Macedonian one are very striking: Alexander the Great's soldiers must have been very handsome to push women to wear such "mountains" on their head! :-) Thanks for this beautiful post. I will tell you a secret: I prefer the costume from Lesvos! ;-) Isabelle, maman d’élève, is right!

For me, traditional costumes are so valuable because they mean something, as Macedonian do. Find traces of Alexander's epic is unbelievable, but you're right, the similarity is amazing with Kalash helmet. I read that, as far as Pakistan, the name "Alexander" or "Iskandar" is still given to boys. We travel further and further with the blog! And you know what? There is a tradition about the Bigouden headdress: as the Bretons were insurged against Louis XIV (end of 17th century), four bell towers were destroyed in order to punish them. So women said: "We will wear our pride on our heads!!!" And that's why Bigouden headress is so high...!!! Thank you Vicky, for this fascinating post.
