I have just obtained a group of very faded photographs. This is one of them; the photographer (whose shadow can be seen in the right foreground) has helpfully added the caption on the rear "Another native beauty". However, he neglected to say where she lived. Can anybody recognise the location by her clothing please?

And here is one of the photographs from the group showing British or Commonwealth troops.

Turkey?

Salonika?

Scott.

It looks like the Balkans to me. I'd go for Salonika.

Woolly

If it was Turkey this Native Beauties would be the infamous women snipers I'll go for Salonika.

Many thanks for your thoughts. Salonika does indeed seem most likely.

Take a look at these costumes from Salonika.
Salonika

I'm 99% sure she's from Macedonia. The dark colour of her costume hints that she might be Sarakatsani - the Sarakatsani are a nomadic sheepherding people who used to roam through that whole area (northern Greece, southern Serbia, modern Macedonia, Bulgaria). There are also dark folk costumes from around Serres in Greece. So west/north-west of Salonika.
