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 festdrakt or bunad. Choose fabrics, embroidery, and trim to embellish your bunad to suit exactly what you want.
~ The gusseted Blouse has a drop shoulder, sleeves gathered into cuffs, a collar, and slit front opening which can be covered by an embroidered decorative panel. The Vest has an option of two views; the front meets at the waist and can be laced or left open, or with an embroidered vest insert added. The Skirt falls to ankle length and is pleated into a waistband which buttons in the back. We provide an Apron template and instructions to cut and construct a pleated-front apron with a waistband which also buttons in the back.
~ Add embroidery to any part of this pattern. Embroidery designs based in Norwegian folk traditions are included along with embroidery instructions and a history of the bunad tradition.
