Classic outfit of a woman belonging to the Beidan "upper-class", with typical hairstyle - pre-1960.

Each tribe and area had (slight to major) variations in their hairdo - a dress-code widely in fashion before the big draughts of the 1970's, after which the "old culture" came to a rapid halt. Nowadays such dresses and hairdos are rarely seen, but they still exist in traditional families of the many remote areas of the country - mostly during festivities and marriage ceremonies!
