Landingsdrakt
 Finally
I got a picture of this beautiful costume with a person in it! This is
Anette, daughter of an e-mail friend, on her confirmation a few years ago!
Thank you, Astrid, for sending me the picture! |

More about the Landingsdrakt
The Landingsdrakt Costume has a simple cut and follows the style
of the Hulda Garborg bunad, but the shape has also been inspired
by a bodice dress described in an article by Ivar Prestkvern in the
commemorative publication Kristians Amt, 1814-1914; «Hos klæder
dom brukte paa Håland før ein 70 aar sida» [‘Kristians County
1814-1914: Dress in Håland 70 Years Ago’]. The basis for the
bunad’s embroidery is a tendril motif from an old white throw from
Hadeland. The same embroidery pattern is used on the shirt. There
is also embroideres on the bonnet and the apron, but not on
the skirt itself. Work on this bunad started as early as 1927, but a
full description of the project was not produced until the 1970s,
and the work was completed in 1980. There is a cape to go with
this bunad.
Here you can see a closeup on the embroideries!
