An excellent work about trandition dressing »code»-through Centuries. To develop the traditions of its people, to celebrate the beauty of life through dressing and trandition and give pleasure to people through folk tales, (I think) this is the main mission of the writer. I should like to congratulate the researcher on a job very well done ASIMINA!!!,
Μια εξαιρετική δουλειά για την παράδοση του »κώδικα» ντύσιματος – στο πέρασμα των αιώνων. Ερευνά τις παραδόσεις του τόπου, (νομίζω ότι ) η κύρια αποστολή της συγγραφέως.είναι να μας αποκαλύψει την ομορφιά της ζωής μέσα από το ντύσιμο και την παράδοση και να δώσει άγνωστες και αφώτιστες (ως τώρα) πτυχές στους αναγνώστες, μέσα από την λαϊκή κουλτούρα. Θα ήθελα να συγχαρώ τη συγγραφέα- ερευνητή για την εξαιρετική και λεπτομερέστατη δουλειά, με εκτενή έρευνα χρόνων! Συγχαρητήρια ΑΣΗΜΙΝΑ !!!
