________________* Frau Antje is a Dutch character used in the advertising of cheese (and other dairy products). "Frau" is German for "Ms.", and "Antje" is a first name that is as acceptable in German as it is in Dutch: the character was created specifically for the advertising the export of Dutch cheese to Germany.________________

Frau Antje's costume, which was designed specifically for her, does not represent any specific traditional Dutch costume, though the "wings" on the headdress are reminiscent of the traditional costume of Volendam: since Volendam is a well-known tourist destination, it can be said to represent "Dutchness" pars pro toto. The name Antje was chosen (or retained) since it appears to Germans as a typically Dutch name, and is indeed common in the three northernmost Dutch provinces.
________________
It was a very spontaneous idea. I took the liberty of having a little fun. Dutch people, please don't take it seriously that I show your cheese girls here. This is my interpretation of Mrs Antje. So laugh along and have fun!
________________
And another warning to all who want to use this headgear - extreme clipping errors (like hat not showing at all or hairstyle underneath will take hat colour and pierce) - at the moment only works if character is bald or has extremely short hair (or Permanent Hair Stylist Contract) !

I absolutely loved that hat on first sight and got it as soon as possible. (Personally I haven't noticed any clipping issues with my sylvari)
The idea to use it as a bonnet for a Frau Antje look is creative and hilarious.

Thank you for your kind comment. I tried the wing bonnet with human and sylvari - it works (also made a new look), but with my norn (hairstyle doesn't matter) there is still clipping error.
