The Villinger costume is a Black Forest costume and historical costume of the citizens in the city of Villingen .
The traditional costume of the Altvillingerin as it is still used today by the traditional costume group Villingen and the Narrozunft Villingen originates in its present form from the late Rococo and was the urban women's fashion of Villingen. Over the long dress made of dark, patterned silk , she wears an apron made of shimmering taffeta . The shoulders are covered with a fringed silk scarf, and in the cold with an additional wool scarf . The golden wheel cap was worn as headgear for going to church and festive occasions, and mostly the black wheel cap for everyday life . Garnet was preferred as a gemstone for brooches, earrings and necklaces . With the decline of the festive costume in the Biedermeier period , it was increasingly used in Villingen Carnival . The bride wore the cup to the wedding . In 1926 a folk costume association was founded in Villingen. Original costumes from Villingen are exhibited in the Franciscan Museum Villingen-Schwenningen . The men's headgear is usually a three-cornered hat , more rarely a top hat .
