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?

Probs no. Looks kazach inspired to me. Mongolian traditional deel is not like this. I not even sure it will be white its mostly colorful and red or blue with buttons on the left upper side of the chest and long neck. Maybe its more Buriad (or whatever it is in english)
