The history of Canadian traditional costume (actually, many people think that there is no traditional garment in Canada, but still some pieces of clothing can be considered as their national dress) begins during the era of Native Indians. In the 17th century, the traditional dress begins to change fluently into a more European one. Why? There is an interesting article which answers this and many other questions about the folk costume of Canada: http://nationalclothing.org/17-national ... mples.html.
