About the Trønder-bunad
With regard to Norwegian costumes, Trøndelag is a large and
important area with many different folk costume traditions.
Nevertheless, when people began to search for old garments in
1920, the aim was to produce a bunad that would be appropriate
for the entire county.
The bunad that is worn today was created by three needlework
teachers, Kaspara Kyllingstad, Ingeborg Krogstad and Ragna Rytter. Their intention was to combine the different traditions that prevailed in the rural areas of Trøndelag so as to arrive at a bunad that would represent all the traditions in this part of Norway, as far as was possible. The bunad is available in red, green and blue, and is inspired by the Rococo style of the 18th century which had a strong influence on the Trøndelag dress customs of the time. This bunad was completed in 1923.
