My cultural flower dance outfit for Robin (Dutch ancestry) 

 Her outfit is based on the traditional folk costumes of Urk, a fishing village in the Flevoland Province of the Netherlands. Each Dutch region and village has it's own unique traditional dress with distinct meaning behind each element. The black base of Robin's bonnet means she's a married woman. 

 Interestingly enough, there is major celebration in Holland called the "Tulip Time Festival", where dancers adorn the traditional outfits from all 12 provinces and come together to dance publicly in the streets. 

 Her outfit is based on the traditional folk costume of Urk, with more white incorporated into her design to match the traditional SDV Flower Dance dress.
