Even if you don't know a Romni (married Gypsy woman) from a diklo (the colorful cloth gypsy women wear on their heads), making an authentic Gypsy dress will be as much fun to create as it will be to wear --- just as long as you've the sewing skills to follow some simple directions. Traditional gypsy garments are dramatic, traffic-stopping and sexy, so follow your inner colorist to make the finished product as vivid as the real thing. Stick to fabric and lines that best fit your body because there are several types of gypsy outfits that match the lines of the authentic, Old World outfits.
