In my country there many typical dresses, but the people use only in festivals no more.

For example: they use that when is carnaval (Barranquilla), blacks and withes in Pasto or fair in Cali.

Some dresses are longs skirt and short blouses but is only for dancing. These dresses are many colors.

Dresses are very different depend dancing and the music. Mapale dancing people use short skirt and short blouses the color are yellow for this dancing people do not use shoes. The men use trourses until knee and they do not use blouse.

Joropo dancing, women use long skirts the color white and short blouses the same color and espadrille, in yours heads put a flower, the men use white short trourses until knee, they use espadrille too and t-shirt with poncho and machete.

In Colombia there is not a traditional dress for something speciall. People like use coktail dress hwen they have something speciall; for example: wedings, parties or etc.
