More about the womans bunad from Vest Telemark with velvet bodice

The folk-costume in Telemark has an unbroken line way back when. It has had influence from the trends in Europe, but the main lines has been the same.

After abt. 1915  the folk costume changed to be a feast costume, even if some older women used it for all purposes as long as they lived.

This costume, with the velvet bodice,  was used in a relatively short period, from abt 1895 till 1915.
