Fustanella is an Albanian National Wearing and there are references for that. One reference is from Jean Pierre Edmond Jurien de La Gravière (19 November 1812 in Brest, Finistère – 5 March 1892) a French admiral and he cites : Albanian wearing become a life style and was in mode so much as the ottomans of high levels wore proudly the white fustanella of Albanians of South. Even greek themselves when the second son of Ali Pasha, named Veli Pasha that was ruling in that time Morea, adopted fustanella as a symbol of bravery and made it the elegant uniform of palikaris.

There are no references that fustanella was a greek national wearing. There are references that show fustanella is an albanian national wearing that is adopted latter in the 18th century by greeks. Newalbin (talk) 13:13, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
