- Abstract
- This paper introduces the dress of the Diapontian Islands in Greece located in the Ionian Sea. It further outlines the history of these islands and discusses all of the external influences involved in the development and evolution of this dress. Each individual garment representing the everyday, ceremonial, and bridal ensembles is named and described in terms of its construction, appearance and use. These components are portrayed with images of extant garments from various collectors. The traditional dress of the Diapontian Islands has stopped being worn for decades and its history was at risk of being lost. Interviews and oral histories were conducted to record the knowledge of its existence and the provenance of the collected pieces. The transformation of this dress and how it exists in reimagined forms in the Greek diaspora is also documented.
