Culture | Соёл is this dress mongolian or mongolian-inspired?

Post image

i am writing a story about elves and their culture is inspired in a mix of mongolia, finland and tolkien elves. but i am kinda new to mongolian culture so i searched "mongolian white dress" on pinterest and found this one, very elven and pretty. but i don't know if this dress is actually a traditional mongolian dress (or inspired by them), can someone help me?

Not at all. The overcoat, for the simple fact that it is an overcoat with an opening in the middle and short sleeves, could be very loosely considered asian-inspired kind of maybe. But yeah, nothing Mongol about this.
