This post is dedicated to the stage costume of Otto Hightower worn in the expected series House of the Dragon, which will be the prequel to Game of Thrones. For now, we have only one image of Otto’s outfit from HBO promotional pictures, so we don’t actually know much about his other movie costumes. And even this one is visible only above the waist. But still, we can discuss what we see and our theories about this character’s future costumes.

Bustles were popular women’s undergarments in the mid and late 19th century. Thousands of ladies around the world – and especially in Europe, America, and European colonies – wore an assortment of bustles with their dresses. We’d like to show you some of the most elaborate and cute bustle cages from a museum collection. They differed in size, construction, shape, material, price, etc, but every example is a wonderful underwear piece. 19Th-century women couldn’t do a buttock lift, insert butt implants, or even wear spanks, so they used the means that were available for them, which were bustle cages.

But this outerwear piece is worth researching, and it helps us learn more about the history of Ireland in general, its political past, etc. Very often, through clothes, we find out about matters totally unrelated to fashion.

Austria is one of those countries where dirndl dress and lederhosen are traditional garments, along with Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Bavaria region of Germany, and Alpine regions of Italy. Austrian women, both young and elderly, continue to wear dirndl for various special occasions even in the 21st century. Believe it or not, but the national attire is greatly supported by the Catholic church as well – besides the folk dress being used for church holidays, there is also a so-called “heiligen tracht” or “holy folk costume”.

In some regions of Poland, women wear a charming bodice called “żywotek” as a part of their traditional attire. This item serves as a corset and supports the bust. At the same time, a żywotek can be extremely decorative and festive. Some people consider the design of this folk vest to be of Ottoman origin because it is very similar to a “jelek”, an Ottoman traditional waistcoat. But many Slavic countries have bodices of the same look in their folk costumes.

Kurdish skullcaps are unique because of the patterns we see on them. They are traditionally hand-crocheted, and the artisans create beautiful dotted ornamentation that you won’t find on other caps around the world. The pattern depends on the region of origin of a man wearing this skullcap, so one look at someone’s skullcap and keffiyeh will help determine his native region of Iraq.
