Top: DDR 40 Crostwitz

Bottom: Sorbische Festtrachten - Swjedźensky Drasty (Sorbian vestments)

The distinct traditional dress styles in the various regions of the Sorbian people have been a curiosity for travelers over time. As the culture overall has reduced through germanization and a general decline in numbers, the traditional dress has remained steadfast in the culture.
