positive to be on this bunad-pages! |

On this picture you can see more of the silver and
embroideries. |
The reticule with its fantastic embroidery. The clasp is in silver or
brass, a copy of a clasp from the 1700s. |
Elin turned her back to the photographer, to show the embroideries |
And, this is Silje in the childrens Numedalsbunad. |
More about the Numedalsbunad
The Numedalsbunad with embroideries is built on old costumes traditions. The embroidery is in forms as found from the 1700s. It was the "Bondekvinnelag" in Nore and Uvdal that collected this material, together with "Den Norske Husflidsforening" in Oslo. The first bunad was shown in 1938.
There is also another costume from Øvre Numedal called the Rollags costume, without embroideries. It is still under work to be registrated and certified as a bunad.
Thank you to Brugaard as for the pictures!
