More about the Romsdals bunad
Mali Furunes created the Bolsøy-bunad in the 1940s. The first bunad was shown in 1947. It is really popular among the Romsdal-women.
The colors of this bunad can be either blue, as Holly has on this picture, or it can be made with a red bodice and blue skirt.
The bodice is a copy of an old bodice from 1700s, that can be seen at the Romsdalsmuseum.
