- Roughly 10 women in a town in Sardinia still wear the traditional dresses they made as adolescents. These hand-embroidered garments are reversible, with the elaborately decorated side worn during major life events and a plain side worn on a daily basis. Filmmaker Andrea Pecora's Desula captures the detailed creation of these dresses and the stories of some of the women who wear them.

my grandmother was born in 1923. when she was a young girl she said most people had about 2 complete outfits. One was their Sunday's best, the other was everyday wear. If you had more it's because you MADE it yourself! Having so little, you took real good care of what you had. This was the norm and not considered "poor" or "underprivileged" at all. Once you were done growing, and if you had the time and ability of course your wardrobe could expand, but it was usually little variations of the same thing. ( Two skirts, one sweater, two blouses, but scarves, or removable collars and wrist cuffs that really changed the look of an article of clothing.) It was quite amazing really.
What I do now
Was it really?
As an Italian:
Thanks for the English subtitles 😂😂
I'm from Sardinia and I've lost a couple of words too that I've never heard in our language rofl
Like "widowed"
this was so strong and powefull
Beautiful story!!! ♥♥♥
What a nice story!
absolutely beautiful

beautiful
Non pensavo che il sardo fosse così incomprensibile...anche se per certi versi assomiglia allo spagnolo😅😅
now i want to watch this .
La lingua sarda !!!Sono inmorato di questa lingua!!!
Wow what an amazing culture. I wonder what her story was I would love to know what all the details on her dress meant.
You can find the book "Desula" ... by Giancarlo Casula . AMAZON
Beautiful ...... 🙆🏼👘👗
la mia Sardegna è così.
Interessante ... uma vida inteira a lidar com fios e linhas!! No entanto, a vida não é mais que uma cruzada de linhas onde estamos em frenesim...a mudar de linha para linha...noutra linha ...a Sra. quis continuar a sua viagem nas linhas e preservar o seu famoso trabalho de mãos e a tradição, não é?
super
actually yes. Lol. I'm aware I'm a bit kooky. But I'm not the only one.😎
I can imagine this it's called watching the video!!!!!!
How do they keep them clean and from wearing out after so many decades? No matter how hard I try, eventually there are going to be holes in the knees of my blue jeans and you can add only so many patches.
They sow through by doing the same sow as they did the first time heh memory is the thing that makes it look ageless but it's actually got no patches but it does have stitches only women that mastered sowing know that patches are for quick pace impatient people. However a little time won't hurt for a benefit to yourself.
But i hope they can change if they want
This reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dates that woman who wears the same dress all the time.
I like BIFL (buy it for life) things, too bad nothing anymore is BIFL, the closest you can get is maybe like, buy it for a few years, maybe a decade if your lucky
Magyar Dénes I know, i should probably change it, but i won't
who's watching 2016
Your wrong we are watching the year of 2020 Kanye for president
For a while I thought that's what Hillary was doing. :P
dude shut the fuck up

Italian? WTF?
It's sardinian, the most ancient among the romance languages still spoken, not italian!
Sardinian, our national language
@@aloud9738 its sardinian, not italian; completely different thing !
I had a pair of boxer shorts I wore everyday for a year and continued to wear until my girlfriend made me throw it out. I hate her.
the same happened to me but with a t-shirt it even had some small holes but it had so many good memories i loved it to much to to let it go.
it was one morning i was desperately looking for it when my wife told me it was gone. i even went through the garbage can but no luck the garbage truck had already took it. it's been almost 5 years and it's still fresh in my mind.
I'm surprised she didn't throw u out! :D
+Flyfly Bee lol me too i guess it's what people call true love.
they look like my spoiled Strawberry's that have been in the back of my fridge for 3 months
+ren y what do you trying to say?
Ren Father Time will catch up with you faster than you know it. I hope some punk doesn't say something so disrespectful about you at that age.

Don't men wear the same looking suit every day?
Those times men were wearing Chicago style suits all made from sheep fur but it was itchy and the only colors were brown, gray, black, or white. But white was luxurious and had a high end price. Gentlemen suits were the least expensive ranging to $50 dollars but women's dress were $70 however people only liked these types and no One had suits unless you were either a titled successfull person or were daddy's little kid.
Poor people were never near buying one unless they stole from a bank or hustled people into selling one piece for a higher price which is being a fraud seller just like black markets you buy and you never see them again.
Back then $1 was like having $1000 heheh America is ruined by tax evaders and frauds.
Yes and now, the point is that these women made and still make their own clothes.
Looks like shes wearing some kind of hijab
+Adam Nazifi people of many different religions and cultural backgrounds cover their hair as a sign of modesty, e.g.: many Hasidic Jewish women, even some devout Christians (and many more used to)
Emily hancock Thats good and recoznisable, i was just wandering if she was a muslim, i mean muslims are forced to remove their hijabs and i dont know why
Adam Nazifi she might be! I completely agree with you, as long as it's the person's own decision they should be able to wear whatever they want, including hijabs
Emily hancock I'd vote you for Prime Minister
There isn't any religious reason that oblige these women wearing scarves or hats, everywhere here in Europe old dress etiquette and fashion included head scarves and hats. These traditional costumes were designed more than 150 years ago.
This is amazing!!! Though the dresses look awful😂😂
It's their age 😕
maybe bc theyre old ? this seems pretty offensive to me. thats a whole culture youre talking abt
That's what the people used to wear...
Now they Just Don't WEAR
I mean 90% naked body now a days
These dresses look awful and they probably smell bad 2, but it's still good movie.
