This day is kind of special outfitwise as we wear our traditional costumes called "Bunad". I happen to own a costume myself, I got it at the age of 15 for my confirmation. My costume represents the area where I was born and raised, there are about 200 different bunads, eac of them resembling a certain area/part of Norway. The bunad is considered to be one of our most valued and treasured traditional outfits and it is considered appropriate for weddings and christenings. If you have a bunad you dont need to worry about what to wear at those occasions. :)
Without further ado, here is yours truly in her bunad (pics taken a few years ago but I havent changed that much). *grins*
I love your Bunad! Such beautiful embroidery.
SvarSlettIn Canada we don't have a national costume which makes me sad. I guess we could wear lumberjack coats, hockey sweaters, and funny beer hats on Canada Day (July 1).
@Megan Thank you! :) Actually I feel very proud everytime I wear my bunad, I think its a beautiful national costume. It reminds me of my ancestors back in the day when they wore bunadlike clothes for everyday wear. :)
SvarSlettOh thats a pity you dont have any national costume in Canada. I guess your "alternative" costume may work. :)
