Hi Sarah,

Here is the best link I know of for traditional and historical clothing in Brazil:
http://www.terrabrasileira.net/folclore/manifesto/trajes.html

You will find pictures and images of traditional brazilian clothing from past centuries representing northern and southern influences.

Expertise

I can accept questions about traveling, living and working in Brazil. Including tourism, the Portuguese language, student life, obtaining visas, health requirements, music, culture and business questions. I am quite familiar with the state of Rio Grande do Sul and it`s principal city of Porto Alegre, parts of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and the “Regiao dos Logos” to the north of Rio. I look forward to hearing from you!

Experience

Lived in Brazil 1 year (Porto Alegre), have traveled to Brazil countless times, speak fluent portuguese and have a Brazilian wife who can also help with questions.
