For Latvias 100th birthday (that is today the November 18) I decided do draw Miku in traditional latvian clothes again!
Now you may ask what do you mean with "again"? Well let me tell you! 2 years ago I already drew her in latvian clothers! So this will be also a re-draw of this old piece!

I changed some parts of her outfit- made her skirt longer, added a belt, changed her pastalas (piece of sole-leather formed as a simple foot-wear) to traditional dancing shoes and made her sleeves a bit longer.
The rest are upgrades tho I still can't really draw braids.

The original was based off Kurzeme's (one of 4 parts of Latvia) traditional clothes but accualy even inKurzeme there are many different ones so for this re-draw I didn't try to reference only one but more than one but also keeping some lements of the original illustration.

For a nicer effect I also added some gold. There is accualy no gold in traditional latvian clothes but I didn't have any silvet so gold it was.

You're a tiny bit older than Romania!
