You are so quick, you caught me Oh dear, oh dear to be caught...

In certainty, also for I was surprised, deleted my results for it was most un-deserving. For I cheated Used google. And that was unfair.

Folk dress clothing is fairly consistent depending upon the region. I am not so very familiar to the exact regions of Poland and was mistaken with the skirt length. Usually though, the regions are fairly consistent with colour patterns depending upon the area. This then was the criteria used for locating the area of Lowicz.

It is to you Holly for the credit of trying, for you were using your life experience. I was cheating for results using research and deserve nothing. As such, my primary reason of deletion.

But, thank you Holly, it was very kind of you to say so...

Holly, how good you saw Karl's post. Karl - thanks for trying,

Karl,
Did you know that in the region of Poznan there was a German minority living. They kept their folk tradition for a long time.
Here is a women costume:


these are so called "Bambers" from Poznan. They came from Bamber

Thank you Jaga

I was not aware of this {some thing new to learn each day!}. I am not surprised these people were welcomed into the community. Their fore parents being from Franconia {Bamberg} were/are incredible farming people. I have lost track now, but they made an incredible delicious Plum/Cherry brandy under several labels, at the moment I am unable to recall.

One of the marks of their area {the fellows} was wearing of a broad brim dark hat of dark/black colour with one side of brim folded up {I think it was on the left side}.

The following are some photos of the area, they are more less tourist content, but will provide some idea of the building style and structures. These are not mine but webshots taken by another fellow. I do trust he will not be angered.

Hi Karl,

yes, the bambers were very hard working people. They probably contributed to the well deserved opinion of Great Poland (Wielkopolska) as the best farming community.

Thanks for the photos. I believe that I was in Bamberg for one day at least during my first stay in Western Germany. I especially remember the cathedral
