I always thought full skirts were so much more feminine than pencil slim. They are all attractive though.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-44480866932094289042015-09-27T14:43:41.904+01:002015-09-27T14:43:41.904+01:00Really interesting collection - and fits with Hele...Really interesting collection - and fits with Heleen's observation that they are more regional than national.FinnBadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623312291708136478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-60432057002070798622015-09-27T12:52:19.746+01:002015-09-27T12:52:19.746+01:00You've reminded me I have some Spanish costume...You've reminded me I have some Spanish costume stamps somewhere but have gone with the country next door. I like how the costumes stand out from the white background <br />You are lucky enough to have the full set of Bulgarian stamps and according to the catalogue the set is called simply 'Provincial Costumes'. I have to reacquaint myself with the Cyrillic alphabet every time I holiday in Greece so happily I don't have to delve into my memory as the catalogue tells me 12s Kyustendil 16s Pleven 28s Sliven 45s Sofia 60s Rhodope and 80s Karnobat.
