Hello guys
Please can you tell me what’s the traditional dress for women is called ? And how does it look like ? Because I saw a lot of different types of costumes and I’m not sure which one is the true Albanian traditional dress .
Thanks in advance 🙏

Hello ,they change and vary from region to region, there are at least 150 different types of traditional costumes here between woman’s and mans , this is from the central región called tirana.

It might be albanian costume, but it’s not an authentic albanian costume. It’s ottoman inspired one.muslim woman use them..
This isn’t really Albanian, more like influenced by Ottomans. There are many others as better examples.
There isn’t a single national dress. Traditional dresses differ from region to region and from a city to another. This one for example is from ‘Shqiperia e mesme’ or central Albania. It is the most Ottoman influenced from them all in my opinion.
If you are looking for a real authentic Albanian one I suggest you ‘Xhubleta’, typical from ‘Malesia’ region.
Edit: forgot to mention that Xhubleta is protected by Unesco.
This is a folk costume usually used in cities around middle Albania and is heavily influenced by Ottoman ethnography (you can find similar design spread as far as north Africa).
If you wanna find an authentic Albanian traditional clothing (as we don’t have only one), the first that comes to mind is this:
