For centuries, Navarre was an independent kingdom. It emerged in early Middle Ages and, at its height, included lands on both sides of the Pyrenees. This independence lasted until 1512, when southern portion was conquered by Ferdinand of Aragon and integrated into Spain, while a smaller northern part remained under French influence.

@archaeohistories The pleats on the shawls and skirts would be difficult to maintain before modern industrial heat setting.
These garments represent hours at an ironing board to make those pleats in what appears to be heavy fabric.

@sewblue @archaeohistories I think that in 1900 they had machines to do that kind of pleating (and it was probably easier for middle class city people to have natural fiber fabric pleated by machine than it it today), but I have no idea how accessible they would be to people wearing traditional clothing in rural settings
