It may also be related to the rise of a sense of National identity across Europe after the French Revolution.
Is that because Stalin moved all the borders after the war?
Folk costumes are actually of recent origin, having become popular especially in the 1800's

The borders of the modern Województwa were arbitrarily drawn and often do not coincide with the historical regions

Thank you. Even if they have fallen out of use, I would still love to own one -- they're so beautiful!

Dziękuję bardzo, kpc21! May I ask, is it acceptable for the £owicz costume to be worn by anyone from Mazovia, or is it acceptable to be worn by someone from £owicz only?
Sorry for my delayed reply, I did not notice your post until now! :)
If we talk about Mazovia, it's hard not to mention the very colorful and known in Poland £owicz costumes

Can anyone tell me what the folk costume for men and women from Warsaw looks like? I've never seen a photograph of it, and as my father was from Warsaw, I'd really love to know! I didn't get the chance to know my father that well, but the memories I have of him are very dear to me, and anything that makes me feel closer to him is really important to me.
I'd love to visit Warsaw, and today I was looking at Folk Costumes in Poland, but I can't seem to find what the costume looks like for those from Warsaw.
Does anyone know where I could find a photo of it?
Thanks so much for any help anyone can give.
