Bunad silver Romsdal lady

Romsdal lady

Romsdal has descriptions of local female Bunads that date back over a hundred years. Hulda Garbord described the Bunad "Rutastakk" as the most common female attire. There have been findings of old, embroidered waist pieces, and these became the grounds for what today's Romdals Bunad looks like.

Common silver is a neck button, with pendants if one so desires, and cufflinks for the shirt. On the waist piece there's a larger brooch, preferably with dish leaves, and a purse clasp. Everything in silver.
