The bunad is the traditional folk costume of Norway, often worn for special occasions and festivals. Based in historic folk dress tradition of Norway, the bunad has evolved over time and geography to become a regionalized and stylized costume. Our sewing pattern presents basic versions of the blouse, vest, skirt, and apron which can be used to create a personalized bunad. Choose fabrics, embroidery, and trim to embellish your bunad to suit exactly what you want. Embroidery designs based in Norwegian folk tradition are included in this pattern along with embroidery instructions and a detailed history of the bunad tradition.
