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. But don't let the idea of being so true to detail that you accidentally substitute your shears for a scimitar (knife-like weapon) or even your best friends will tell you that you've gone too far.
