Womans bunad from Dovre
 This

jacket to her bunad. |
 This
is my aunt, Turid on her wedding day in 1957. She is wearing her
mother-in-law's Dovre bunad. It was made in offwhite wool. I have never
seen this bunad in white before, and in all the books it tells that it can
be made in either blue or black. But, nevertheless, this is a white Dovre
bunad! |
 This
is our good friend Bente in her Dovre bunad. The picture was taken on 17.
may 5-6 years ago in Oslo |
 This
is a closeup on Bentes Dovre bunad. Notice the small knife! The silver
belt is also very beautiful! |
About the Dovre bunad
This bunad was based on the embroidery on an old bonnet found at Tofte Farm in Dovre. It was created around 1930 The bonnet is illustrated in a watercolour painting by Johan Meyer in his book ‘Fortids kunst i Norges bygder’ [‘Regional Norwegian Art from Earlier Times’] published in 1911.
The identity of the person who actually designed the embroidery is not known. The bunad has distinctive and fairly large flower motifs on the skirt, bonnet, bodice and reticule, and is available in black or blue. The bodice is attached to the skirt and is in the same material, and its cut is identical to the cut of the Gudbrandsdal ceremonial bunad.
