Fabulous! May I make one suggestion? Don't read your comment section 😂 dealing with a literal world-full of opinions is a surefire way to staunch creativity. I hope to see lots more where this video came from 🥰
"Actual" Norwegian here: First of all: I love this! Everything about it, from the excitement in your voice and the final product itself, to the research that went into it and the lovely mispronounciations of Norwegain words. I have so many thoughts; I kept thinking, you should just come here on a May 17th once and see the bunads (Yeah, that's wrong, we should totally just use "bunader") in action. And wear this and hear everyone go: "oh! that is so pretty, where is it from?" And watch as they either find your answer super interesting and want to hear more, or look appaled (some people think you should only wear the "real" bunader - it's stupid and make me want to make one myself just to spite them). You should switch out the cording in the front with a silver chain, that would make it look even more like a bunad. The silver used on bunader are usually called bunadssølv wich means bunad silver, wich includes the brooches, hooks on the liv, the chain and the bag-clasp. My bunad actually has those hooks that fastens the vest to the skirt, so that's sort of accurate. Not if you're going for the Telemark version, but lots of bunader has that feature. What else? oh, yes. I love your struggle and dedication to pronounce the Norwegian words, but I cringed at the way you say bunad, wich should have the emphasis on the first syllable rather than the last. (BUnad, not buNAD). Great work, I'd like to see more takes on traditional dress around the world. :)
Thank you so much!! Haha I can definitely take the job of telling people my dress is from Arendelle and explain it exactly like the town of Frozen! I wonder if I could get some people going on that one... I saw silver chain on some of the folk dresses, and I am all about chains, so that sounds fabulous. I love seeing traditional dress too. I'll need to make one from where my family is actually from eventually!
What are your thoughts on what Queen Iduna wears in Frozen 1 and 2? I'd like to make a highly detail costume but I'd like to throw in some historical notes in it's construction.
@@WickedQueenAvice well... Off the top of my head... I know that there are elements in her dress that is inspired by a spesific bunad, but I can't for the life of me remember wich. And I clearly remember seeing some selburoser in her design as well. It looks nice, and her design is clearly inspired by something "real". But like... I'll say what the musician that wrote the "hanana Heya na-theme" (can't remember the actual title) said: "Well... It has gotten very Disney" and with that, he ment that he had written something inspired by traditional saami yoik, that could have been done as a yoik, but turned out "very disney" in the end. If you want to look at modern bunader, I'd recommend norskebunader.no choose "dame" in the menu and browse away. They sell bunader, and have as far as I know pictures of every model sorted by aeria. This got longer than I had planned it, but I hope it made sence. I would love to see what you come up with! :)
@@WickedQueenAvice I don't think its based on just one bunad, but several. Considering that Arendelle derives from the name of the actual town Arendal in Aust-Agder (south part of Norway) I think they took a lot of inspiration from them. Just like The Anne Approach said, there are several elements taken from different bunads, but couldn't find one specific one. I did find a lot of bunads from that region that has some similar elements to Queen Idunas dress :) I think the short vest-style and the silver belt-buckle is taken from the Arendal-bunad or Åmlibunad. I did find a belt buckle that looks very similar to Queen Iduna, so if you want one that looks very similar, then the Nordmøre Beltespenne is the most similar I could find. When it comes to the embroidery-bands on the dress, they do remind me of the Hardanger vinter-bunad because of the wide bands and design. All in all the dress silhouette looks like a 1300s dress mixed with the ramsebunad. To sum it up. You really just have to dive in and see what you think matches the most to the historical bunads as well as looking like the Idunas dress :)
So, as a Norwegian and a tailor specialized in bunadskredderi (bunad tailoring), this is really nice! I mean, if I'm getting very nitty-gritty, historically speaking it's actually quite inaccurate, but it's such a labour of love and it's clear that as layman you've done as much research as you can. All things considered, you did incredibly well and this is an impressive piece of work! If you were to wear this on our national day (which is when norwegians use their bunader, among other occasions) it would hold its own with all the others :D
Wow! As a Norwegian person I’m so impressed with all the research you did and how amazing the result ended up being! In Norway we would call this a fantasy bunad or fantasy stakk or just a stakk as it don’t belong to a certain ear/town/county! This is stunning! 🥰
The audible gasp when you said telemark bunad. I own one cause im from there... im not sure id personally call it a bunad but it looks nice and super cool to see someone researching norwegian dress history
As a Norwegian historical fashion enthusiast, this was great to see, you did some very beautiful work in this video. I always love it when people from other cultures explore my country's folk dress, especially since we're not that well known in the grand scheme of things. I'm also glad you went with the Telemark bunad, because most bunads are not actually historically accurate (mainly due to a lack of reference images or fabric samples from back then, so designers have to make do, because every region of Norway wants their own bunad), but the ones from Telemark, Hardanger, Voss, Setesdal, Fusa, and a handful of others are some of the few bunads that are actually 100% historically accurate, and some of them, such as the Hardanger bunad, have been continuously worn by some people up until this day. Worth noting is that though historically accurate, these are not the bunads people wore for everyday use back in the day. These were mainly used for church on sundays, and then they would have simpler bunads with very little embroidery for everyday use. One little extra bit of trivia, though, you're right that the basic bunad shape and most of the historically accurate bunads originated in the 1800's, but there are actually a few older ones too that originated in the 1700's, though it's pretty rare for a bunad design to be that old. The oldest, sort of "prototype" bunads came about in the middle of the 1600's, around the same time as the earliest examples of rosemaling. Unfortunately very few surviving paintings or tapestries of these exist, mainly because this was before the romanticism movement, so folk art wasn't really valued during that time. The clothing and fabric samples of peasants largely did not survive the test of time. I've searched around on the Norwegian online museums, but basically the only thing that hasn't rotted away completely or been torn up to be used as rags, is a peasant woman's jacket from around 1650, and a woman's shirt from around 1690. Plenty of gold and silver jewelry from that time has survived, though, and they're actually surprisingly similar to the things worn with modern day bunads.
I never even thought about how Arendelle might actually be a real place. There is a well known town in Norway called Arendal. This was very interesting to see a non-Norwegian's thoughts on this. You did a really good job. Nowadays the stakk/suspender skirt and vest is handed down tgrough generations as it's essentially one size with several buttons in the skirt to customize size and the chain lacing. The blouse is made with linen and often embroidered and hand sewn by grandparents etc. A full new bunad with a full set of silver can be maybe 4000 euros so more and more people are opting out
@@DaisyViktoria its so stunning😍😍 It’s really so authentic as well. I wish more people used this type of recreation of the bunad and not the cheap mass produced costumes
Swede living in Norway here! This is exactly what I have been hoping for every time I see a "historically accurate Frozen" video. I can understand why you didn't do any actual embroidery, but it would have made the whole bunad look a lot nicer in the end. I have done some embroidery myself and can understand why you didn't though. My purse/pocket took me about 2 moths to make!
I am definitely going to work on it over the next few weeks or so! I would absolutely love to see what you make! Both sound amazing! I want to make a Swedish dress from the district my family lives in too, they are all so beautiful. ❤️
Wow! This is so cool and I'm really impressed by all the research you did! It kinda looks a little bit like my bunad🥰 Mine is more then a hundred years old🙌🏻 and from a little fjord south-vest in Norway🇳🇴
Man RUclips knows me. I’ve been trying to create a Mrs Santa Clause folk dress for awhile now and this is just exactly the kind of thing I needed right now to get me back in the mood to sew. Thank you 🙏
You did a fab job! My bunad is from telemark and I love the representation, hower I feel like frozen would be set in Agder. Agder has a town called Arendal which sounds suspiciously like Arendelle.
Thank you, and wow that's super cool you have a real telemark bunad! From what I can find, it sounds like Arendelle was based on a variety of locations sort of mashed together, but it does sound suspiciously like they got some name inspiration from Arendal!
I love seeing all of your traditional gowns and learning about the different cultures and reasons for specific details in the dresses. This one turned out especially well 😊
This is so good! I'm norwegian and I'm in the process of making my own bunad (or festdrakt/fantasistakk as "made up" bunads are often called). It won't turn out half as good as yours though!
This is so awesome! As a Norwegian and a lifelong Disney fan, I've always wondered what Elsa's outfit would actually look like, I've always concluded with that it would be a type of bunad from either a western or southern region of Norway and your depiction of her bunad is actually really close to what I had imagined she'd wear! You did a great job incorporating the floral embroidery and patterns without including snowflakes (as that wouldn't have been realistic enough and it would've ventured more into hybrid/cartoon-esque territory) yet still keeping some of the color scheme that reminds us of the Frozen universe. Great job! 🤩👏
I just got inducted into the Daughters of Norway today, and came to RUclips looking for a tutorial on the blouse specifically. I can tell you from what they told us today, that there are 2 areas of Norway that have light/sky blue bunads. And my grandma’s family came from Hedmark and they don’t do any embroidery on the skirt, nor any of the lace on the blouse collar or cuffs. Skirts are pleated to the waistband for this area, not gathered. Vests are not embroidered either, and button up (no sweater clasps). Hedmark vests have a peplum, so you couldn’t hook them on to the skirt. If you’ve not yet done one on the blouse in more detail, I’d certainly like to see it, @Daisy Viktoria. Tusen takk!
This looks really amazing!! Norwegian here- this is a gorgeous dress you’re so talented, but I would not have gone as far as to call it bunad😅 just because it is a lot of specific details, that makes a “dress” a bunad. Also the fact that the silver and fabrics have to be “real”/ “what it is supposed to be”. But again you are SO talented! And this was so fun to watch💖
@@Isisbird no, for it to be a bunad... Its kind of a big deal here... its a gorgeous ‘dress’, but not bunad, i just wanted to emphasize that point. I did not mean anything rude by it, I just mean that bunad is a traditional clothing item in Norway, it’s about culture and it can be offensive.
@@Isisbird like the original commenter said- a bunad is a very specific garment. You could call the dress made in this video a "festdrakt" but it does not qualify as a bunad
Great job! Coincidentally my name is Elsa and a few years ago I made a Vest-Telemark Bunad! I'm happy to see more interest is being seen in folk dresses on the internet in the past years
This is amazing! I actually plan to make a Bunad from the Lillehammer area where part of my family are from. This will be so helpful when I actually go to make it. You did a beautiful job! I hope the one I make is half as pretty!
Would loooove a tutorial for the shirt!! Im planning on making a portuguese folkwear outfit to wear for my grandmothers birthday, and we have lot a lot of similar items
Ooh that's so awesome and sounds really special! I'll be working more on tutorials in the upcoming months while I put together another version of this type of outfit!
Hello , im from the Philippines, my daughter will wear Norway costume , thats why i found you in RUclips channel.. thanks i learn a lot from your vlog ..
I'm a Norwegian-American and I'm making a bunad of my own right now! Your video was really interesting. I'm wondering why you drafted your own pattern? Because there are a TON of bunad patterns out there. I dunno, I've drafted patterns before but I prefer to alter existing patterns if I can. Also, Elsa would DEFINITELY have had a lot of bling. Bunads were festival dress, worn with all your jewelry. Even peasant girls would have had silver brooches and belts. Those can get pretty massive!
Traditional clothing is literally so incredible 😍 I love it so much and the construction is so beautiful❤️ And about the thing where you call it like the ensemble it belongs to (I hope that makes sense): We have that too, with our traditional Austrian clothing, the Dirndl. it's actually really similar to the Bunad, it's just not a separate skirt and vest. and we call the blouse a "Dirndlbluse" (blouse for Dirndl) or the apron a "Dirndlschürtze" (apron for Dirndl). I just thought it was so cool, to see how traditional clothing is different, but also connected 😆☺️
Thank you so much, and thank you for sharing these awesome dirndl words! I love hearing about traditional clothing, and I agree it's so cool how clothing from different places is connected!
Hi there! Thank you for this video! I was searching for a video on making a bunad since they can be rather costly to buy. My Grandfather was Norwegian and came to America during WWII and was, in my mind, one of many unnoticed war heroes, so I want to teach people about the role Norwegians have played throughout American history (but I wanted an outfit first to catch people’s attention!) I was thrilled that you were making a bunad based on the more Southern style because that is the style I needed! (It was impossible to figure out the specific style of the area my Grandpa came from, but since he was from a Southern region, making a Southern style bunad will work just as well - and Telemark is very close to where he was from!) QUESTION: Where did you buy your appliques? I have searched Amazon, Etsy, and my fabric store. I cannot seem to find one that looks as pretty as or as large as yours.
I’m stumbling onto this video and would very much like to know the tutorial for the skjorte (shirt) as well!!! I would be using it to make my Queen Iduna cosplay. (Anna and Elsa’s mother)
Thank you! Oh my gosh, I totally thought about doing snowflakes before deciding I wanted the more floral theme. It would be so fun to do a snowflake one too!
Hi ! I love you costume and I am so glad you did a video about it. I would be interested in the shirt video because I don’t understand how you did the collar. You talk about the gussets but I don’t understand how there are sewed 😊 Thank you ♥️ I am French and move to Sweden so it is really nice to see some Swedish RUclipsr !!
Hello Please do you have a pdf tutorial to purchase for the entire outfit please? My daughter wants me to make a Norwegian Bunad for culture day at her school Thank you
This was a lot of fun to watch, and the result looks great. It's interesting to see an interpretation of the traditional Norwegian dress from someone who hasn't grown up with the bunad tradition. If you do decide to release a pattern, I would recommend calling it bunad inspired, not a bunad. Feelings can run very high when it comes to these traditional outfits, to the point where we have the term "bunad police", which describes the people that will call you out for not wearing the bunad exactly right. A lot of the bunader are copyrighted, where you have to attend classes to even be allowed to buy the right fabric. They are almost always made in wool, with linen shirts, and sometimes waistcoats in silk brocade. Include all the silver and they are expensive. I would budget at least § 2000 for one, more if it was professionally made for me. And making bunader is a profession, with it's own education and all. So while I don't mind you calling this a bunad, be aware that you could upset some people by doing so. I would also like to point out that it's likely that the variety of dress was a lot more diverse back in the days than what the modern bunad tradition gives the impression of. Nowadays a bunad is a piece of regional identity, you wear the bunad from where you are from, or where your family is from. Each modern bunad is tied to a specific place, and the design is based on historical sources from that place. Most of them include a lot of guesswork and interpretation, so the historical accuracy is up for debate. The heavily embroidered pieces are most likely "Sunday bests", people probably had more plain clothes for doing chores. But since people have always wanted to look their best in pictures, and since everyday clothes were probably used until they where completely worn out, we don't have as many sources for that. I can definitely hear your Swedish influence, especially when you say "skjorte". Good job on attempting the Norwegian, it's not an easy task to try to pronounce stuff in an unfamiliar language. For future reference: it's bUnad, not bunAd. Sorry for the long and rambling post. Please do not interpret any of this as criticism, it really isn't, I'm just excited that you have taken the time to look into Norwegian traditions like this, and want to add to the discussion.
Oh, my how I dislike the bunad-police. I sat here wanting to wear this exact dress for May 17th and see them cringe. (Especially the bunad's association in my town who called me out for carrying a flag whilst wearing a bunad one year. It was bad). That's just the way I am. :P Alltho I wouldn't, because I have my own bunad and love it.
In some way, I'd like to have a real life run-in with the so-called bunad police, in which I insist upon the accuracy of my outfit to the district of Arendelle, all the while backing it up with descriptions taken from the Frozen movies. I feel like this would be really amusing.
The shirt is so beautiful. Im in love with it. I think i kinda need it for my everyday drees. Can you make a video or a pdf about how you made it? So beautiful 😍😍😍
Thank you so much! It's really comfy. At this point I am definitely thinking I'll put more together on it! It will take me a little bit, and I think it will be totally worth it!
It reads more Anna to me then Elsa is so pretty though I think If the appliques where like a snow design if would feel more like Elsa. But it definitely reminds me of Anna cuz Anna wears stuff just like this in the movies. But you still did an amazing job I don't sew I make amigurumi crochet stuffies so I don't know bit about sewing except sewing the parts together but I love watching sewing videos on here like this especially the historical ones because I find it so amazing to learn how stuff use to be made and see how people remake it now days and you did absolutely amazing never stop doing what you love you are so talented
16:01- same in russian!! like, "the bunad bodice" would translate to "лиф бунада-" the bodice of the bunad. (side note- even the word is pretty much the same- лиф -> lif :)
Elsa was originally going to have some historically accurate dresses. There were two. They had beautiful neck pieces. But Disney didn't use the dresses. Look up Dark Elsa or Evil Elsa.
I would love any resources or instructions you can give! I have been attempting to make a bunad for our Syettende Mai festival for a few months and just can't seem to get the pattern right
OMG that sounds amazing!! I think at this point I am definitely planning to go forward with creating a step by step tutorial. It will take a little bit to get it together. And then of course I'd love to see yours!
This puts me in mind of something I wanted to ask. Now that the “princess” series are sort of played out, could we do literary roll models? Anne’s puff sleeve dress done with historical accuracy NEEDS to be made!!!
@@DaisyViktoria Anne from ‘Anne of Green Gables.” However, I would love to see people do a personal story about a character that speaks to them! Maybe there were movies or mini series made, but it wasn’t done “historically accurately?” Just a thought!
Any tips on how you made the shoulder gussets work out? I understand most of the concept but haven't been able to figure out how to turn the corner, and am having difficulty finding online resources (most info on gussets assumes you're working a gusset into seams, not into a slit piece of fabric).
Love traditional clothes. This is so flattering to any figure. Love the helpful comments. One thing I can add is that the elements of this garment are ancient and widespread around the ancient world, with variations, from Crete to Russia and everywhere in between. But everybody knows that! White blouse/shift of linen covered by skirt and top or one piece jumper of dyed wool. Red commonly used at cuff, neck, hens, to ward off demons.
In all honesty while it's possible that a princess in 1800's could have worn something traditionally lockal, it's still more likely that they would have dressed in way more international way. Royals usually followed fashion more closely than their subjects. They needed to appear impressive and fashionable to other politically important people. Another point is that most royals by 1800's in Europe were quite closely related and especially queens often came from a different country than the one they would have ruled. I'm ofcourse not an expert on norwegian history but since courts in Europe were quite international I doubt that royals would have wore folkwear as late as in 1840's. Other than that the video was really nice, thank you for exploring the world of norwegian folkwear.
In reality, Norway didn’t have it’s own Monarchy in the 1840s. The king was Swedish(but also French), because Sweden won Norway from Denmark in the Napoleonic wars. But, what was a thing in Norway at the time was national romanticism. The elite actively tried to make traditional folk-art and traditions into “high culture”in order to prove that Norway was worthy of being its own country. (They stole the idea from Germany.) They collected and documented “farm” culture (including languages, stories, art-styles and Bunad-traditions) and they had their own bunads made (the embellishments of many current day bunads are often inspired from the richer people’s bunads at this time). I do not think it would be too much of a stretch to see elites wear them. Though not royalty, since they were Swedish and continental. But had there been princesses there, they might have wanted to show that they were Norwegian by wearing bunads. After Norway became free from Sweden in 1905 the royalty has been wearing bunads. Admittedly the first queen only wore them a few times but she owned two. And she was English, so I think that the fact she wore them at all says something. The next one was Swedish (she didn’t live to become a queen, but she was crown princess) wore lots of bunads. And to this day they are all proud bunad wearers and supporters. There’s even this really cute video from the news where the current queen shows off the new bunad for her grand-daughter, including embroidery she did herself.
Hi! I love the dress, it looks so stunning, but I actually wanted to ask about the music you used...is there maybe a playlist or a list where I can look up the music? Many songs seem familiar and I would love to listen to them more often... Thanks in advance and take care!
@@DaisyViktoria dunnu if you speak Swedish but best way is to knock threw each Word so you find the rythm in the language. "Livstycke" is 3 knocks Liv-sty-cke makes it easier to evoid an accent
Non official bunad with no origin and spawn of pure creativity are usually referred to as festdrakt i hope the bunad police don't come here. Im guilty of making a festdrakt and calling it a bunad myself. People will probably be nicer to you as you are not Norwegian though. Overall I was impressed great work subscribed.
Thank you so much, and I'm so sad that you've had to deal with the bunad police! They have, indeed, found me too. Don't let them destroy your creativity. They can be quite ridiculous, and while they may choose to spend their time criticizing others, we can spend ours creating more beautiful things (even if it's the loathsome festdrakt ;P). And I guess they can come for me again because I'm going to make an Anna dress hopefully this summer - I'm very excited to do the project!
I think we sometimes call it "bunad" because we try to use it as an all-encompassing term. Kinda like how we say "vehicle" to mean everything people drive, from cars, to trucks, to SUV's. We sometimes call festdrakt "bunad" because it's following the same silhouette, and is still a fancily trimmed, heavily embroidered garment. The only difference between the two being that one is a fantasy creation, the other is meant to have colours, textiles, and embroidery to represent where you're from! So I can easily see where the mix-up is of calling what is technically festdrakt, a bunad.
Did they decorate their everyday shifts with that kind of trim? It would have been so problematic for laundering. The examples that survive are almost always the fancy, special occasion garments. Of course, Elsa was royalty, so it makes total sense even for her everyday clothes to be fancier.
I think you answered your own question. No, everyday clothes did not have that level of decoration. A bunad is not really for everyday use, but more for special occasions such as weddings (both now and in the past)
Awesome! I am digitizing my pattern to make it available soon! I will be working on that with a release goal at the start of April, so please check back for it!
Bunads weren't really worn before the late 1800. A folkedrakt would be more accurate, though I don't think a queen would wear such commoner styles of clothing. Finding references would also be a lot harder too. It's still a beautiful bunad though
Never realized how much a Bunad looks like our traditional clothing. But they actually keep their tradition, unlike some disrespectful people here. From the Faroe Islands, btw.
Looks great. In modern Norway you would call this a fest drakt as the Bunad is really restricted to the "official" aiutorized versions. Silly, they were different in the 1840s when this was a living dress. Oh and by the way I would shorten the chain in the bag to the shortest you can and remember to hook it all the way to the skirt waist this way it will be more stable and it won't pull the belt crooked.
Thanks! Interestingly, the historical versions are labeled "bunad" in the online museum archives. If someone is upset by the term being used for a dress not authorized in modern day, they should probably not look at those!

This is the advice I and many other costumers and other creatives need to hear! Thank you for spreading the encouragement.
"Actual" Norwegian here:
First of all: I love this! Everything about it, from the excitement in your voice and the final product itself, to the research that went into it and the lovely mispronounciations of Norwegain words.
I have so many thoughts; I kept thinking, you should just come here on a May 17th once and see the bunads (Yeah, that's wrong, we should totally just use "bunader") in action. And wear this and hear everyone go: "oh! that is so pretty, where is it from?" And watch as they either find your answer super interesting and want to hear more, or look appaled (some people think you should only wear the "real" bunader - it's stupid and make me want to make one myself just to spite them). You should switch out the cording in the front with a silver chain, that would make it look even more like a bunad. The silver used on bunader are usually called bunadssølv wich means bunad silver, wich includes the brooches, hooks on the liv, the chain and the bag-clasp.
My bunad actually has those hooks that fastens the vest to the skirt, so that's sort of accurate. Not if you're going for the Telemark version, but lots of bunader has that feature.
What else? oh, yes. I love your struggle and dedication to pronounce the Norwegian words, but I cringed at the way you say bunad, wich should have the emphasis on the first syllable rather than the last. (BUnad, not buNAD).
Great work, I'd like to see more takes on traditional dress around the world. :)
Thank you so much!! Haha I can definitely take the job of telling people my dress is from Arendelle and explain it exactly like the town of Frozen! I wonder if I could get some people going on that one... I saw silver chain on some of the folk dresses, and I am all about chains, so that sounds fabulous. I love seeing traditional dress too. I'll need to make one from where my family is actually from eventually!

@@WickedQueenAvice I don't think its based on just one bunad, but several.

Just like The Anne Approach said, there are several elements taken from different bunads, but couldn't find one specific one. I did find a lot of bunads from that region that has some similar elements to Queen Idunas dress :) I think the short vest-style and the silver belt-buckle is taken from the Arendal-bunad or Åmlibunad. I did find a belt buckle that looks very similar to Queen Iduna, so if you want one that looks very similar, then the Nordmøre Beltespenne is the most similar I could find. When it comes to the embroidery-bands on the dress, they do remind me of the Hardanger vinter-bunad because of the wide bands and design.

This is such a lovely comment, Amelia, I just want to hug you through the internet. 🥰
Wow! As a Norwegian person I’m so impressed with all the research you did and how amazing the result ended up being! In Norway we would call this a fantasy bunad or fantasy stakk or just a stakk as it don’t belong to a certain ear/town/county! This is stunning! 🥰
Thank you so much! I am definitely incredibly honored to take on the fantasy stakk for Arendelle! 🌿
This looks so good! I love traditional dress from around the world, so it was really cool to see the construction of this bunad!
Thank you so much! I am also such a fan of traditional dress. It's so awesome to see how we still honor these fashions today!
The audible gasp when you said telemark bunad. I own one cause im from there... im not sure id personally call it a bunad but it looks nice and super cool to see someone researching norwegian dress history
Wow that is so cool! Thank you so much for sharing! It's wonderful to honor your heritage through dress.
Um trying to do one for myself too (because buying one is very expensive) how should i call my “dress”?
@@victoriapiva3467 we would often refer to it as a “Stakk” or “Festdrakt” Which regions design are you going for?
As a Norwegian historical fashion enthusiast, this was great to see, you did some very beautiful work in this video. I always love it when people from other cultures explore my country's folk dress, especially since we're not that well known in the grand scheme of things. I'm also glad you went with the Telemark bunad, because most bunads are not actually historically accurate (mainly due to a lack of reference images or fabric samples from back then, so designers have to make do, because every region of Norway wants their own bunad), but the ones from Telemark, Hardanger, Voss, Setesdal, Fusa, and a handful of others are some of the few bunads that are actually 100% historically accurate, and some of them, such as the Hardanger bunad, have been continuously worn by some people up until this day. Worth noting is that though historically accurate, these are not the bunads people wore for everyday use back in the day. These were mainly used for church on sundays, and then they would have simpler bunads with very little embroidery for everyday use.
One little extra bit of trivia, though, you're right that the basic bunad shape and most of the historically accurate bunads originated in the 1800's, but there are actually a few older ones too that originated in the 1700's, though it's pretty rare for a bunad design to be that old. The oldest, sort of "prototype" bunads came about in the middle of the 1600's, around the same time as the earliest examples of rosemaling. Unfortunately very few surviving paintings or tapestries of these exist, mainly because this was before the romanticism movement, so folk art wasn't really valued during that time. The clothing and fabric samples of peasants largely did not survive the test of time. I've searched around on the Norwegian online museums, but basically the only thing that hasn't rotted away completely or been torn up to be used as rags, is a peasant woman's jacket from around 1650, and a woman's shirt from around 1690. Plenty of gold and silver jewelry from that time has survived, though, and they're actually surprisingly similar to the things worn with modern day bunads.
I never even thought about how Arendelle might actually be a real place. There is a well known town in Norway called Arendal. This was very interesting to see a non-Norwegian's thoughts on this. You did a really good job. Nowadays the stakk/suspender skirt and vest is handed down tgrough generations as it's essentially one size with several buttons in the skirt to customize size and the chain lacing. The blouse is made with linen and often embroidered and hand sewn by grandparents etc. A full new bunad with a full set of silver can be maybe 4000 euros so more and more people are opting out
I would love to see the shirt tutorial!! It’s totally something I could see myself wearing so that would be super useful!
This is amazing! Ngl, it would have hit harder had she transformed her more French styled coronation gown into her traditional Norwegian bunad.
Looks amazing! The embroidery trim is definitely my favourite part of the ensemble!
Thank you so much! I was so excited to find that trim!
I have seen many of the historically accurate Disney princess videos and this might be my favorite!
I was not expecting to hear the Danse Macabre in the background, but I'm not unhappy about it! It's one of my favourite pieces and great fun to sing.
Norwegian and loving your "Elsa bunad"
I’m so happy how much respect you showed for the cultural clothes❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed, and it is indeed my pleasure! These clothes are absolutely amazing!
@@DaisyViktoria its so stunning😍😍 It’s really so authentic as well. I wish more people used this type of recreation of the bunad and not the cheap mass produced costumes
Swede living in Norway here! This is exactly what I have been hoping for every time I see a "historically accurate Frozen" video. I can understand why you didn't do any actual embroidery, but it would have made the whole bunad look a lot nicer in the end. I have done some embroidery myself and can understand why you didn't though. My purse/pocket took me about 2 moths to make!
It’s ’bunader’ in plural, even in english. 😁
Or just ’traditional folk costumes’ can be used too. 😄
Oh thank goodness, that sounds so much better than trying to add an s!
@@DaisyViktoria Absolutely! 😅
Daisy this came out amazing! The hooks and eyes on the skirt/bodice is a brilliant idea, too!
Please make a PDF TUTORIAL!!!!! I would LOVE to make a Bunad or traditional folk dress of Sweden or Germany.
I am definitely going to work on it over the next few weeks or so! I would absolutely love to see what you make! Both sound amazing! I want to make a Swedish dress from the district my family lives in too, they are all so beautiful. ❤️
Wow! This is so cool and I'm really impressed by all the research you did! It kinda looks a little bit like my bunad🥰 Mine is more then a hundred years old🙌🏻 and from a little fjord south-vest in Norway🇳🇴
Thank you so much, and wow that is awesome! How lucky that you have that!
Man RUclips knows me. I’ve been trying to create a Mrs Santa Clause folk dress for awhile now and this is just exactly the kind of thing I needed right now to get me back in the mood to sew. Thank you 🙏
That sounds so fun! Or rather..."sew" fun! ;) May your inspiration flow, and I'd love to see what you come up with!
You did a fab job! My bunad is from telemark and I love the representation, hower I feel like frozen would be set in Agder. Agder has a town called Arendal which sounds suspiciously like Arendelle.
Thank you, and wow that's super cool you have a real telemark bunad! From what I can find, it sounds like Arendelle was based on a variety of locations sort of mashed together, but it does sound suspiciously like they got some name inspiration from Arendal!
Gosh! As a norwegian I truly love this. You did a great job :D!
Please do a sewing tutorial video! I’d love to have a bunad for my wedding dress, so I’ll have to make it myself.
I love seeing all of your traditional gowns and learning about the different cultures and reasons for specific details in the dresses. This one turned out especially well 😊
Thank you so much! It was super fun!
This is so good! I'm norwegian and I'm in the process of making my own bunad (or festdrakt/fantasistakk as "made up" bunads are often called). It won't turn out half as good as yours though!
That's so awesome, and thank you! I am sure yours will be absolutely beautiful!
This is so awesome! As a Norwegian and a lifelong Disney fan, I've always wondered what Elsa's outfit would actually look like, I've always concluded with that it would be a type of bunad from either a western or southern region of Norway and your depiction of her bunad is actually really close to what I had imagined she'd wear! You did a great job incorporating the floral embroidery and patterns without including snowflakes (as that wouldn't have been realistic enough and it would've ventured more into hybrid/cartoon-esque territory) yet still keeping some of the color scheme that reminds us of the Frozen universe. Great job! 🤩👏
Sparks a memory of the many “peasant dresses” and dirndl skirts that I sewed as a teenager in the 70’s. They were so comfortable! 💕🐝
AAaaaa! Super excited to see the modeling bit! It's so pretty!
I just got inducted into the Daughters of Norway today, and came to RUclips looking for a tutorial on the blouse specifically. I can tell you from what they told us today, that there are 2 areas of Norway that have light/sky blue bunads. And my grandma’s family came from Hedmark and they don’t do any embroidery on the skirt, nor any of the lace on the blouse collar or cuffs. Skirts are pleated to the waistband for this area, not gathered. Vests are not embroidered either, and button up (no sweater clasps). Hedmark vests have a peplum, so you couldn’t hook them on to the skirt.
If you’ve not yet done one on the blouse in more detail, I’d certainly like to see it, @Daisy Viktoria. Tusen takk!
YES, PLEASE GIVE US PDFS!
Absolutely stunning! Your work is exquisite!
This looks really amazing!! Norwegian here- this is a gorgeous dress you’re so talented, but I would not have gone as far as to call it bunad😅 just because it is a lot of specific details, that makes a “dress” a bunad. Also the fact that the silver and fabrics have to be “real”/ “what it is supposed to be”. But again you are SO talented! And this was so fun to watch💖
Silver and fabrics have to be "real" to cosplay as a Disney character?
@@Isisbird no, for it to be a bunad... Its kind of a big deal here... its a gorgeous ‘dress’, but not bunad, i just wanted to emphasize that point. I did not mean anything rude by it, I just mean that bunad is a traditional clothing item in Norway, it’s about culture and it can be offensive.
@@Isisbird bunads are a part of our culture :)
@@Isisbird like the original commenter said- a bunad is a very specific garment. You could call the dress made in this video a "festdrakt" but it does not qualify as a bunad
Great job! Coincidentally my name is Elsa and a few years ago I made a Vest-Telemark Bunad! I'm happy to see more interest is being seen in folk dresses on the internet in the past years
That's amazing! I'm sure yours is so lovely! I've always loved folk dress and the historical garments that inspired it.
This is amazing! I actually plan to make a Bunad from the Lillehammer area where part of my family are from. This will be so helpful when I actually go to make it. You did a beautiful job! I hope the one I make is half as pretty!
Thank you so much! That is so exciting, and I'm sure yours will be really lovely!
Such a beautiful piece of work. 👏I love to hand sew 🤗
I would love to see a pdf rundown of the shirt! 💜
This is so great!! I would love to see a pattern PDF for this!!
I would love a pdf vlog about the folk dress
Would loooove a tutorial for the shirt!! Im planning on making a portuguese folkwear outfit to wear for my grandmothers birthday, and we have lot a lot of similar items
Ooh that's so awesome and sounds really special! I'll be working more on tutorials in the upcoming months while I put together another version of this type of outfit!
Hello , im from the Philippines, my daughter will wear Norway costume , thats why i found you in RUclips channel.. thanks i learn a lot from your vlog ..
I'm a Norwegian-American and I'm making a bunad of my own right now! Your video was really interesting. I'm wondering why you drafted your own pattern? Because there are a TON of bunad patterns out there. I dunno, I've drafted patterns before but I prefer to alter existing patterns if I can.
Also, Elsa would DEFINITELY have had a lot of bling. Bunads were festival dress, worn with all your jewelry. Even peasant girls would have had silver brooches and belts. Those can get pretty massive!
Traditional clothing is literally so incredible 😍 I love it so much and the construction is so beautiful❤️
And about the thing where you call it like the ensemble it belongs to (I hope that makes sense): We have that too, with our traditional Austrian clothing, the Dirndl. it's actually really similar to the Bunad, it's just not a separate skirt and vest. and we call the blouse a "Dirndlbluse" (blouse for Dirndl) or the apron a "Dirndlschürtze" (apron for Dirndl). I just thought it was so cool, to see how traditional clothing is different, but also connected 😆☺️
Thank you so much, and thank you for sharing these awesome dirndl words! I love hearing about traditional clothing, and I agree it's so cool how clothing from different places is connected!
Hi there! Thank you for this video! I was searching for a video on making a bunad since they can be rather costly to buy. My Grandfather was Norwegian and came to America during WWII and was, in my mind, one of many unnoticed war heroes, so I want to teach people about the role Norwegians have played throughout American history (but I wanted an outfit first to catch people’s attention!) I was thrilled that you were making a bunad based on the more Southern style because that is the style I needed! (It was impossible to figure out the specific style of the area my Grandpa came from, but since he was from a Southern region, making a Southern style bunad will work just as well - and Telemark is very close to where he was from!)
QUESTION: Where did you buy your appliques? I have searched Amazon, Etsy, and my fabric store. I cannot seem to find one that looks as pretty as or as large as yours.
I’m stumbling onto this video and would very much like to know the tutorial for the skjorte (shirt) as well!!! I would be using it to make my Queen Iduna cosplay. (Anna and Elsa’s mother)
I really love this. I’d love to see a version were the embroidery was snow flake themed. I know that wouldn’t be very historically accurate tho
Thank you! Oh my gosh, I totally thought about doing snowflakes before deciding I wanted the more floral theme. It would be so fun to do a snowflake one too!
Hi !
I love you costume and I am so glad you did a video about it. I would be interested in the shirt video because I don’t understand how you did the collar. You talk about the gussets but I don’t understand how there are sewed 😊 Thank you ♥️
I am French and move to Sweden so it is really nice to see some Swedish RUclipsr !!
Stunning!!
Thank you so much!
You’re so talented!
Thank you so much!!
Hello
Please do you have a pdf tutorial to purchase for the entire outfit please? My daughter wants me to make a Norwegian Bunad for culture day at her school
Thank you
This is beautiful work.
Thank you!! It was so much fun to make!
This was a lot of fun to watch, and the result looks great. It's interesting to see an interpretation of the traditional Norwegian dress from someone who hasn't grown up with the bunad tradition.
If you do decide to release a pattern, I would recommend calling it bunad inspired, not a bunad. Feelings can run very high when it comes to these traditional outfits, to the point where we have the term "bunad police", which describes the people that will call you out for not wearing the bunad exactly right. A lot of the bunader are copyrighted, where you have to attend classes to even be allowed to buy the right fabric. They are almost always made in wool, with linen shirts, and sometimes waistcoats in silk brocade. Include all the silver and they are expensive. I would budget at least § 2000 for one, more if it was professionally made for me. And making bunader is a profession, with it's own education and all. So while I don't mind you calling this a bunad, be aware that you could upset some people by doing so.
I would also like to point out that it's likely that the variety of dress was a lot more diverse back in the days than what the modern bunad tradition gives the impression of. Nowadays a bunad is a piece of regional identity, you wear the bunad from where you are from, or where your family is from. Each modern bunad is tied to a specific place, and the design is based on historical sources from that place. Most of them include a lot of guesswork and interpretation, so the historical accuracy is up for debate. The heavily embroidered pieces are most likely "Sunday bests", people probably had more plain clothes for doing chores. But since people have always wanted to look their best in pictures, and since everyday clothes were probably used until they where completely worn out, we don't have as many sources for that.
I can definitely hear your Swedish influence, especially when you say "skjorte". Good job on attempting the Norwegian, it's not an easy task to try to pronounce stuff in an unfamiliar language. For future reference: it's bUnad, not bunAd.
Sorry for the long and rambling post. Please do not interpret any of this as criticism, it really isn't, I'm just excited that you have taken the time to look into Norwegian traditions like this, and want to add to the discussion.
Oh, my how I dislike the bunad-police. I sat here wanting to wear this exact dress for May 17th and see them cringe. (Especially the bunad's association in my town who called me out for carrying a flag whilst wearing a bunad one year. It was bad). That's just the way I am. :P Alltho I wouldn't, because I have my own bunad and love it.
In some way, I'd like to have a real life run-in with the so-called bunad police, in which I insist upon the accuracy of my outfit to the district of Arendelle, all the while backing it up with descriptions taken from the Frozen movies. I feel like this would be really amusing.
@@DaisyViktoria Oh my GOD! yes, that would be very, very amusing to the rest of us!
Sounds like I will need to do my best to record any such interactions!
@@DaisyViktoria yup. Have a friend with you to do the filming. :P
Lovely work as always! So glad this popped up in my feed, not least of all because I apparently didn't have notifications on? Oh, dear. Fixed that!
Thank you so much!! This was such a cool project! Notifications definitely help! I've had a few oddly timed ones myself but so helpful overall. 🌹
The ‘bodice’ or ‘liv’ that you made, would be called a ‘waistcoat’ in UK, so that fits!
Fantastic! It's so cool how languages can be so different and yet so very much the same.
Watching this video makes me realize that I don’t have nearly as much patience to do what you do. 😭 Well done. 👍
Where can one find premade floral appliqués like the ones in this video? I am searching but coming up empty!
The shirt is so beautiful. Im in love with it. I think i kinda need it for my everyday drees. Can you make a video or a pdf about how you made it? So beautiful 😍😍😍
Thank you so much! It's really comfy. At this point I am definitely thinking I'll put more together on it! It will take me a little bit, and I think it will be totally worth it!
@@DaisyViktoria I came here to ask the same thing! I’d definitely be into a pdf of how to do those gussets you mentioned! They turned out lovely! 💕
It reads more Anna to me then Elsa is so pretty though I think If the appliques where like a snow design if would feel more like Elsa. But it definitely reminds me of Anna cuz Anna wears stuff just like this in the movies. But you still did an amazing job I don't sew I make amigurumi crochet stuffies so I don't know bit about sewing except sewing the parts together but I love watching sewing videos on here like this especially the historical ones because I find it so amazing to learn how stuff use to be made and see how people remake it now days and you did absolutely amazing never stop doing what you love you are so talented
16:01- same in russian!! like, "the bunad bodice" would translate to "лиф бунада-" the bodice of the bunad. (side note- even the word is pretty much the same- лиф -> lif :)
okay, WOW. Just, WOW!
Thank you so much!! It was so much fun to make and perhaps equally fun to wear!
Elsa was originally going to have some historically accurate dresses. There were two. They had beautiful neck pieces. But Disney didn't use the dresses. Look up Dark Elsa or Evil Elsa.
I would love any resources or instructions you can give! I have been attempting to make a bunad for our Syettende Mai festival for a few months and just can't seem to get the pattern right
OMG that sounds amazing!! I think at this point I am definitely planning to go forward with creating a step by step tutorial. It will take a little bit to get it together. And then of course I'd love to see yours!
Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This puts me in mind of something I wanted to ask. Now that the “princess” series are sort of played out, could we do literary roll models? Anne’s puff sleeve dress done with historical accuracy NEEDS to be made!!!
Do you mean Anna? Or is it an Anne from another source? I'm so interested in this suggestion!
@@DaisyViktoria Anne from ‘Anne of Green Gables.” However, I would love to see people do a personal story about a character that speaks to them! Maybe there were movies or mini series made, but it wasn’t done “historically accurately?” Just a thought!
@@cloakedbook Ooh I love that idea!
Any tips on how you made the shoulder gussets work out? I understand most of the concept but haven't been able to figure out how to turn the corner, and am having difficulty finding online resources (most info on gussets assumes you're working a gusset into seams, not into a slit piece of fabric).
Love traditional clothes. This is so flattering to any figure. Love the helpful comments. One thing I can add is that the elements of this garment are ancient and widespread around the ancient world, with variations, from Crete to Russia and everywhere in between. But everybody knows that! White blouse/shift of linen covered by skirt and top or one piece jumper of dyed wool. Red commonly used at cuff, neck, hens, to ward off demons.
In all honesty while it's possible that a princess in 1800's could have worn something traditionally lockal, it's still more likely that they would have dressed in way more international way. Royals usually followed fashion more closely than their subjects. They needed to appear impressive and fashionable to other politically important people. Another point is that most royals by 1800's in Europe were quite closely related and especially queens often came from a different country than the one they would have ruled. I'm ofcourse not an expert on norwegian history but since courts in Europe were quite international I doubt that royals would have wore folkwear as late as in 1840's.
Other than that the video was really nice, thank you for exploring the world of norwegian folkwear.
In reality, Norway didn’t have it’s own Monarchy in the 1840s. The king was Swedish(but also French), because Sweden won Norway from Denmark in the Napoleonic wars. But, what was a thing in Norway at the time was national romanticism. The elite actively tried to make traditional folk-art and traditions into “high culture”in order to prove that Norway was worthy of being its own country. (They stole the idea from Germany.) They collected and documented “farm” culture (including languages, stories, art-styles and Bunad-traditions) and they had their own bunads made (the embellishments of many current day bunads are often inspired from the richer people’s bunads at this time). I do not think it would be too much of a stretch to see elites wear them. Though not royalty, since they were Swedish and continental. But had there been princesses there, they might have wanted to show that they were Norwegian by wearing bunads. After Norway became free from Sweden in 1905 the royalty has been wearing bunads. Admittedly the first queen only wore them a few times but she owned two. And she was English, so I think that the fact she wore them at all says something. The next one was Swedish (she didn’t live to become a queen, but she was crown princess) wore lots of bunads. And to this day they are all proud bunad wearers and supporters. There’s even this really cute video from the news where the current queen shows off the new bunad for her grand-daughter, including embroidery she did herself.
Please do make a bunad sewing video. I would love to see that, or anything you want to show us.
Where did you get the appliques
Love this. Yes pdf for more please!!!
What’s that tool you used for the chain called? That looks useful.
Where can I find the embroidery??
How did you make that liv? I'm struggling to find an appropriate pattern here in Australia.
Are you going to do any other of her dresses?
I've definitely thought about doing some more! I feel like I love historical Elsa even better than movie Elsa, at least for costumes!
And I am totally for a PDF 🤩
Yes, a PDF please!!!
Hi!
I love the dress, it looks so stunning, but I actually wanted to ask about the music you used...is there maybe a playlist or a list where I can look up the music? Many songs seem familiar and I would love to listen to them more often...
Thanks in advance and take care!
In Swedish you could also say “livstycke” which basically means “waist piece” ^^
I really like your frozen interpretation :D
Thank you, and that's so cool! I look forward to impressing my family with such a fancy word. ;)
Oooh, this makes me wanna learn Swedish again!
@@DaisyViktoria dunnu if you speak Swedish but best way is to knock threw each Word so you find the rythm in the language. "Livstycke" is 3 knocks Liv-sty-cke makes it easier to evoid an accent
Yes, please PDF
Oh goodness, please!!!
Love your designs!! I’ve been looking for decent appliqués. Do you recommend a particular store?
I think it would be nice, if you specialize in “bunader”. Each region in Norway has its version and it would make a great project.
Is there a playlist for this video? I loved the music!
I added the track names and artist to the description!
Non official bunad with no origin and spawn of pure creativity are usually referred to as festdrakt i hope the bunad police don't come here. Im guilty of making a festdrakt and calling it a bunad myself. People will probably be nicer to you as you are not Norwegian though. Overall I was impressed great work subscribed.
Thank you so much, and I'm so sad that you've had to deal with the bunad police! They have, indeed, found me too. Don't let them destroy your creativity. They can be quite ridiculous, and while they may choose to spend their time criticizing others, we can spend ours creating more beautiful things (even if it's the loathsome festdrakt ;P). And I guess they can come for me again because I'm going to make an Anna dress hopefully this summer - I'm very excited to do the project!
@@DaisyViktoria I love your attitude lol . Looking forward to your next prodject!
I think we sometimes call it "bunad" because we try to use it as an all-encompassing term. Kinda like how we say "vehicle" to mean everything people drive, from cars, to trucks, to SUV's. We sometimes call festdrakt "bunad" because it's following the same silhouette, and is still a fancily trimmed, heavily embroidered garment. The only difference between the two being that one is a fantasy creation, the other is meant to have colours, textiles, and embroidery to represent where you're from! So I can easily see where the mix-up is of calling what is technically festdrakt, a bunad.
Which region of Norway would a Bunad like this belong to? I'm trying to learn😅
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Did they decorate their everyday shifts with that kind of trim? It would have been so problematic for laundering. The examples that survive are almost always the fancy, special occasion garments. Of course, Elsa was royalty, so it makes total sense even for her everyday clothes to be fancier.
I think you answered your own question. No, everyday clothes did not have that level of decoration. A bunad is not really for everyday use, but more for special occasions such as weddings (both now and in the past)
Great ocstume, funny that you used Dans Macabre.
tutorial??? yes, please!!!!!
We are from the Philippines, is there a Bunad store here
I don't know! I've never been! You'll have to tell me if you find one.
Heyyy imma make a bunad for my college work how did you make the patterns and find the embroidery
Awesome! I am digitizing my pattern to make it available soon! I will be working on that with a release goal at the start of April, so please check back for it!
It looks like a blue version of a Vest-Telemark Bunad
Bunads weren't really worn before the late 1800. A folkedrakt would be more accurate, though I don't think a queen would wear such commoner styles of clothing. Finding references would also be a lot harder too. It's still a beautiful bunad though
Merely out of curiosity, whats the song starting around 25:16 called? It seems very familiar but i cant place it. Thanks in advance :)
Called "Danse Macabre" and it actually starts closer to 21m mark, it's just a different part by the 25m mark :)
Good taste, I like it too
My family is from the Bergen area. I would love to make a bunad. Jeg snakker Norsk 😀
Came here from your insta reel!
Oh yayyyy! Welcome! ❤️
Never realized how much a Bunad looks like our traditional clothing. But they actually keep their tradition, unlike some disrespectful people here.
From the Faroe Islands, btw.
The sapmi «kofta» is even prettier >:) mine is black cause im a fishing sapmi :p
That's so awesome, and thank you for sharing! I think sapmi clothing is some of the most beautiful I've seen!
Looks great. In modern Norway you would call this a fest drakt as the Bunad is really restricted to the "official" aiutorized versions. Silly, they were different in the 1840s when this was a living dress. Oh and by the way I would shorten the chain in the bag to the shortest you can and remember to hook it all the way to the skirt waist this way it will be more stable and it won't pull the belt crooked.
Thanks! Interestingly, the historical versions are labeled "bunad" in the online museum archives. If someone is upset by the term being used for a dress not authorized in modern day, they should probably not look at those!
@@DaisyViktoria I agree!
It Based on a Disney Frozen Characters.
I watched my Mamma make hers in the seventies.
That is awesome! These are so fun to make and wear!
