The traditional costumes of Brittany often seen are festive dress outfits worn at festival or special ceremonies and events. There are also traditional costumes that used to be worn everday (costumes de tous les jours). The difference is weak. Everyday costumes are more modest. There is always the trimmed round hat of a black velvet ribbon, the waistcoat or the short blouse (sometimes decorated black velvet facings). But, here, there are not the elaborate embroideries of the festive costumes. The embroideries of the festive costumes were in [sharp?] silk, usually yellow, red, and green.
