Pole Dancing?

Along with four African costumes, the school also wanted some Polish ones. They supplied me with a couple of pictures – but they were not terribly helpful ones

So I went and had a chat with a very helpful elderly Polish lady. She assured me that there was no definitive costume – they varied through different regions.

She said the key thing was use of ribbon, lace and braid.

I had great fun using trimmings and the fancy stitch settings on my machine, and I found some fabulous embroidered, sequinned trim.

Two boys shirts, with embroidered braid at neck and cuffs, two girls outfits [dresses, made to look like blouse and skirt] and four red waistcoats.
