The Old Valdres Bunad
This bunad was inspired by the embroidery on a bonnet and shawl
from the district, and was first worn in 1914. The skirt, bodice, bonnet and reticule are in black or dark blue wool with embroidery. There is also a cape
or jacket in the same material. The shirt, which is based on models
from Valdres Folkemuseum, can be either linen or cotton, with
white work or coloured embroidery. The underskirt is in cotton
with a pleated flounce at the bottom. Black stockings and bunad
shoes complete the costume.
