About the Nordmøre bunads
Womens:
Karoline Grude started the work on making a Nordmøre bunad in 1920s. This first bunad did not get to popular, as it did not show enough "Nordmøre"-style. The work continued, and in 1939 the next bunad was showed to the public. Unfortunately, this bunad burned during the war.

After the war, the work started again, and in 1949 they could show up yet another bunad, the one that we see on the picture.

Mens:
This bunad was made by Anna Johannessen in 1922. Tradition tells that it was drawn after old pictures and old stories from Nordmøre. The bunad has been very popular on Nordmøre.

A new mans bunad from Nordmøre has been made. You can read about it on Nordmøre Ungdomslags homepage, (only in norwegian). I dont have any pictures yet of this bunad.
