From the bustling streets of Paris to the picturesque villages of Brittany, each region of France has its own unique customs and traditions. One of the most fascinating aspects of French culture is the traditional clothing worn by women in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france.fr\/en\/places-to-go\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.france.fr\/en\/places-to-go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">different regions<\/a>. Each dress is a reflection of the history, culture and identity of the people who live there. From the Breton dress of Brittany to the Alsatian costume of Alsace, each dress has its own unique style and characteristics that set it apart from the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we'll only be looking at some of the most iconic variants, as there are simply so many regions of France with distinct and independent histories and traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Traits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional French women's dresses, also known as &#8220;regional costumes&#8221; are a reflection of the country's rich cultural heritage. These dresses can be (rarely nowadays) worn on special occasions such as weddings and festivals, and are a symbol of a region's identity and history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, traditional French women's dresses feature a long, full skirt with a fitted bodice, apron, and a headscarf. The bodice is typically made of velvet, silk or linen and is decorated with intricate embroidery or lace. The skirt is made of heavy cotton or wool, and is also decorated with similar embellishments. The headscarf is often made of linen or cotton and is decorated with embroidery or lace. The dress is usually completed with a pair of black or colorful shoes and stockings. These common pieces are usually present in all regional, or folk, dresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"76344\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-500x500.jpeg\" alt=\"Traditional Dresses Of France\" class=\"wp-image-76344 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-250x250.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq.jpeg 602w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"76344\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-500x500.jpeg\" alt=\"Traditional Dresses Of France\" class=\"wp-image-76344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq-250x250.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/main-qimg-8231590739c8602dd8920a5ed7b8abd0-lq.jpeg 602w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The traditional French women's dress is made by hand, often by skilled artisans who have passed on the techniques from generation to generation. The fabrics used are usually high quality and natural, such as cotton, linen, wool, and silk. The embellishments, such as embroidery, lace, and pleats, are also made by hand, often using traditional techniques. This is of course a very rare thing in the modern world, and I don't know of any well know artisans that I can link here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"303\" data-id=\"76333\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-500x303.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Dresses Of France\" class=\"wp-image-76333 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-500x303.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-768x465.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-1536x930.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-2048x1239.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-250x151.jpg 250w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/303;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"303\" data-id=\"76333\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-500x303.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Dresses Of France\" class=\"wp-image-76333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-500x303.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-768x465.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-1536x930.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-2048x1239.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_89162563-250x151.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The dress is also generally recognized by its use of bright colors and bold patterns. Each region has its own specific colors and patterns that reflect the local culture and history. For example, the Breton dress of Brittany is known for its use of white and blue, as well as dark navy colors, which are the traditional colors of the region. On the other hand, the Provencal dress is known for its use of bright and cheerful colors, with a bohemian and relaxed style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brittany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Breton dress, also known as the &#8220;bigouden&#8221; is a traditional costume worn by women in the Brittany region. I white blouse and full agron are its most common characteristics, as well as the dark colors paired with white lace. The skirt is typically made of cotton or linen and is decorated with white or gilded embroidery or lace. The blouse is also decorated with similar embellishments and features a high collar and puffed sleeves. A headscarf, known as a &#8220;coiffe&#8221; is often worn with the dress, and is also decorated with embroidery or lace. The dress is usually completed with a pair of black shoes and stockings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"76304\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76304 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-250x167.jpg 250w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/333;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"76304\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1396650899-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"76330\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76330 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-250x167.jpg 250w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/333;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"76330\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1340561030-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brittany, located in the northwest of France, is a region known for its rugged coastline and beautiful beaches.
