Norway: Bunad
report and original photo contributed by: Silje (age 6)

I wear the traditional costume from my region in Norway, and so does my brother, Endre.
It's called a bunad and my grandmother has made them both. It's hand embroidered, mine has a crosstich seam, but many has patterns made of plastic pearls/beads.

I wear it on the seventeenth of may, with is the national day in Norway, but also to weddings, christenings, and so on.

I'm very proud of my costume.
