 This
is Torill - I met her April 30. 2005 - and she let me take her picture. This
costume is brand new - I have never seen it before. I don't have any
information on it yet, but I will try to get some later.

 This is a close up on the skirt. The cone is a motif that you can find both on the silver, the skirt and the shirt. Also on the bodice the cone is an important element in the embroidery. Hurdal has a lot of spruce - the cone illustrates that.

 Here you can see more of the silver made for this costume. The backgorund on this page is the small sølje made for this costume. You can see the cones on them.

I hope that I will be able to find information on this beautiful costume. I have never seen it before, and did not know it excisted!
