2. • Every Polish region has its own folk traditions
and costumes.

4. Now a bit about the history of the Polish folk
costumes: Folk costumes were the most
trendy in the second half of XIX century when
cheap and massively produced fabrics become
available. Besides, peasants were not serfs
anymore and their economical and political
status improved, so they could afford to buy
more and they wanted to show their pride by
wearing traditional costumes.
