Abstract
In this video Lin Suiyin and Lin Gerel, mother and daughter-in-law, explain Ejine Torghut women’s traditional dresses.Torghut women’s dresses have multiple different styles for various occasions. Dresses are distinguished for unmarried girls and married women, for casual and official occasions, and for nobles and ordinary folks. In the video, Lin Suiyin wears a Torghut costume made by Lin Gerel under her guidance. She says that there are particular styles distinguishing Torghut dresses from other Mongolian dresses. Today, however, the so-called traditional dresses have mixed styles from different groups, and they are in Lin Suiyin’s eyes highly offensive.
