Thank you so much! I love hooking the pieces together too. It makes it so easy to swap looks and interchange pieces. I feel like this is so practical for style!
im swedish so i understand norwegian, and your pronounciation was actually very good! It’s so lovely seeing people honor scandinavian history like this!
Thank you for doing this . I’m a Norwegian American and very proud of the home of my heart. My daughter was beyond excited when Elsa and Anna happened. You did a very good job with this Bunad. It makes my heart happy to see my heritage being shown like this.
Oh awesome! It warms my heart to hear that about your daughter! It's so amazing to connect with our heritage. My little niece is really into Elsa and Anna too, and it's so beautiful to watch her enthusiasm! My mom grew up in Sweden - so I figure we are close enough!
It's so gorgeus! Im assuming arendelle=Arendal. If you search "Arendal grønn bunad" (grønn=green) they are pretty much identical to Anna's. If you visited Norway you would get so many compliments in this. I typically wear my bunad with "german braids" like you did in the start hahah
Thank you so much! From what I can find, Arendelle is based on inspiration from multiple areas, though it sounds like they got some name inspiration from Arendal. I'm planning an Anna dress this summer, and I'm so excited! We usually fly in through Norway since that airport is closest for us, and I've always wanted to make some more stops that side of the border. It's such a lovely place!
I love the combination of historical/traditional dresses and cosplay. It's nice to hear about other people's traditions and I really like the handcrafted stuff. It turned out really nice! It's excelent work and I love it! =)
Love it! I see several construction similarities to the Polish traditional dress I have (Krakow variant), and it's lovely to see how practical the form is - much easier to adapt and adjust from person to person for fit! :) The embroidery work is beautiful.
I love your historical costumes from other areas of the world! Such great info and things to learn about. Of course, the finished product is absolutely beautiful as always 😊
I am hand-sewing a kroj (czech fork dress, though this particular one is czech-german) and going around folk costume TH-cam in the mood of "EVERYBODY GETS A SUBSCRIBE!". Sadly there's not that many people sewing those, so you're just second. The bunad looks beautiful, and I think it really fits you! I might be slightly biased here since dark blue is my favourite colour, but I think everyone is going to agree.
I love this! I could clearly tell that this is inspired by the Vest-Telemarks bunad (western telemark's bunad) as I have one myself. I think this is an excellent fantasy version of it. An as a Norwegian, it is always great to see people explore our history and culture. This was really fun to watch!
This is lovely! As you've probably already discovered, the Bunad Police would insist you don't call this a Bunad, but they're just huffy and ruining the fun of folk-dress for everyone, don't mind them. Ever since Frozen came out I've been thinking about how the movie could have looked if they took a more culturally/historical accurate approach to the costume design, and I really love what you did with the idea! I also love how you did your research and made something that would fit right in at a 17th of May celebration, while still applying creativity and having fun with the design! I especially liked the choice of making a skirt that could be worn without the vest. I wish I could do that with my Telemark-bunad to mix it up too (I would love to get a pair of mens' trousers and wear the top part as a vest for a more hiking-friendly variation), but unfortunately mine is structured in a way that would make it impossible. The "vest" functions as suspenders for the skirt, which weighs about 5 kilos on its own. If I wanted to wear just the skirt and the shirt, there is no way it would stay on for very long :( I really want to design my own fantasi-stakk like this one with more versatility. Thank you for finding my culture interesting enough to explore, and for adding your unique voice to the fantasistakk-movement!
It's not tho. It is a festdrakt and there is nothing wrong with that. Bunads can only be made in one way. Stop with the bunad police stuff, even i wear my silver on a daily basis and include it in my daily life, not afraid to push boundaries when it comes to buands. It's just a fact. This is not a bunad. It is a festdrakt
That dress looks quite similar to northern germany folkswear, too! Since the landmass that is germany today was -for most of it´s history- more a band of different kingdoms and states united by some similarities we have quite an abundance of folk clothing here. The Dirndl is a southern style since it´s from bavaria, the northern styles are more influenced by other northern countries.
Go look up Evil Elsa or Dark Elsa. Dark Elsa wears two historically accurate dresses. They're both concept dresses that we never got to see Elsa wear. Hopefully we will get to see Elsa wear them some day.
Norway is number one Scandinavian country i loved their culture music and languages and the beautiful fjord mountain that inspired frozen they could realistic made Elsa speak English with Norwegian accent
Daisy Victoria is such a breath of fresh air. She is very plain speaking and doesn't want to sell us anything. She just loves costumes and so do we. Thank you Daisy for being truly inspirational.
Very nice!!! ❤ My great grandparents were from Norway. They were Hardanger. So, that Bunad also has a beautiful beaded card that goes inside the vest. But the one thing Queen Elsa would have had would have been an impressive Solje!! But that's a lot of money to spend on a costume.
Still love it! Alltho I pick up more Norwegian May 17th celebration than I do Elsa. It might be the darker blue. Had good fun with your pronounciations and then laughed when you used the Sweedish for shoes. I just love it and in a fond way, not a cruel way. Just remembered that the modern Oslobunad is light blue, but that's not the south. I was going to link to a picture of me in my bunad, but realized I don't have any that's not set to private. Give a shout if you're interested. :)
OMG I would absolutely love to see your bunad!! Thank you so much! Having a Swedish influence is such a goals thing for me haha because I always feel I sound soooo American. Would love to come to May 17th one day!
@@DaisyViktoria I think that, inspired by your enthusiasm, I want to make a video talking about bunader in general and mine in particular while putting it on. It will probably be up next Friday (February 5th).
I speak some Danish, so it was really interesting to see the similarities and differences between Danish and Norwegian!!!! a lot of the spellings are super similar, if not the same, but the pronunciations are totally different (from what I understand though, your pronunciation was great for Norwegian!!)
Dancing around the midsummer or "Maypole" is more of a "Swedish Tradition" than it is Norwegian. Also Arendal is situated in the former county of "Aust-Agder" which has now been united with "Vest-Agder" as one single county "Agder." This is where I am from (Vest-Agder). "Telemark" is the neighbouring county, so you're not too far off 😉 Beautiful Bunad you've made, you have done well 😊👍 In Aust-Agder they use a Bunad called "Åmlibunad." It's very beautiful as well, with an empire waist. If you Google it, you can see what it looks like. It can be difficult to know which type of Bunad is the right one, because we have over 450 different types of Bunads from all over the country as well as a wide varieties of "Festdrakter" which these days are the cheaper, more affordable alternative to an authentic Bunad which costs several thousand dollars without all the silver or gold, and even more with it, so it's not cheap 😰 The most expensive ones can cost upwards of $10 000,- and some even more, so it's quite extreme! This is where the various "Festdrakter" is a good and way more affordable alternative, usually starting around $180,- up to $1000,- which for many is certainly "pricey enough." But making one yourself is way more affordable allthough the materials needed is usually not cheap.. Either way, you have done a beautiful job with your Bunad and the back of the vest is so beautifully done, and just like the ones you will find on certain "Telemark Bunads." I'm sure "Elsa" would be proud to wear it 😉👍👏👏👏👏 All the best to you from Norway 🌿🇧🇻🌿 Take care 💞💚💞
@Amalie Olsdatter Ok 😉 Either way and like I said, you have done a beautiful job with your Bunad and you look great in it too. So all my respect to you for having done such a great job, it looks very beautiful 😉👍 All the best to you and take care 💞💚💞
Am I the only person who never seen Frozen?Well, your outfit is stunning, even whithout Disney's reference!And forgive my akward english, frenchie new subscriber here!
Love your attire and video!! I love to learn about historically accurate clothing and creation! This may not be your area of expertise but I was trying to find Scandinavian kids clothing do you know where I could find some? Specifically sweaters/coats/dresses.
The colours of Norwegian bunads are actually very local, and follow as strict rules as the pattern and fabric itself. You've made a beautiful piece but it's a bit region-confused.
Since you know so much about the patterns and fabrics, can you please let us all know what the correct color scheme and design for a dress from Arendelle would look like? The region is a little hard to pinpoint, being a fictional place and all.
@@McNerdyCostumesandProps Arendale name and location is based off the Norwegian town Arendal. Arendals bunad is the Aust-Agder bunad. You can google what it looks like.
@@karenmadrigal2835 You are right, festdrakts are less region specific, but some of them are. The point of naming something a festdrakt instead of a bunad is exactly to escape the strict local constumes. However I know that fact isnt easy for a foreigner to know, its not something I expect. I was letting Daisy know about some info I felt was lacking, I dont think I was anything else than respectfully informative.
i beleive that folkwear was typically worn by farmers, would they wear a more plain practical bunad-shaped outfit in the week when they worked, a more "westernized" generaly fashionable silhouette of the time, wear some pieces but with a different apron and so the bunad as we know today was their sunday's best or did they wear bunad all year long
Bunad is a very modern tradition, picking up around the 1920's-30's, and is worn for special occasions. Christenings, birthdays, graduations, festivals, etc.
No there's no traditional stiffening, boning, or structure to the bunad. You would just wear a bra under them, because bunad didn't actually become a thing until the 20th century, particularly around the 1920's-30's. So you just wear bra and panties under it, no corsetry here.
The costume looks great from a distanse, but as a Norwegian seamstress I see a lot of mixing form different part of Norway in this. I would not say it is historical acurat, rather historical inpired, but a good job though! One easy thing that would make it look more accurat is to place the lowest brooch at the middle of the split, not at the bottom.
Thanks! I also think it looks amazing up close! Frozen is actually a Disney movie with a made up setting. This style is now accurate to Arendelle, which Disney based on a mixture of different locations.
What undergarments would they have worn? Did they wear stays or was the bodice meant to be the support garment? Were their stockings commonly decorated with clocks?
(I am a Norwegian seamstress) They would have worn just a petit coat, shirt, dress, stockings, apron, cap, shoes, purse, and if they choose a shawl or cape. The bodice is suposed to be the suporting garment, and they did not wear stays. It is usaly made of wool with linen lining, and is therefore quite thick. The stockings are usualy not decorated, but in some parts of the country they are embroidered with flowers and other ornaments.
Dutch braids are just two braids that you start with the hair like on your scalp, You could find a video on how to do it pretty easily 🙂. Sorry my explanation wasn’t very good lol.
I did Dutch braids in this tutorial here (which also includes hair taping and adding extra hair in case you want longer / more)! th-cam.com/video/wr59k3qYrZs/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps! I love doing these braids to keep my hair out of the way - and for costumes! :)
Good job on the dress, it looks wonderful!! If I may, I would like to give you some more information regarding the Norwegian folk costume and it's traditions:) First thing, sorry, but the pronounciation of bunad is wrong:/ You put too much accent on the a, like bunàd, but it's rather bùnad. (Now I know how Italians feel when people consequently mispronounce their proper nouns like focaccia etc. Anyone calling me a nitpicker simply does not understand the struggle..!) Technically, what you just made is called a "fantasidrakt" which is when you make a costume that's not really 100% a bunad, but inspired by it! Fantasidrakter are quite common among young norwegians who either want to do their very own thing, or sometimes simply cannot afford a real Bunad as they're super expensive(!). I think if you went to Norway on the 17th of May, a lot of old conservative people, that we like to call "bunadspolitiet", that is the bunad police, could have some negative response to the fact that you call your dress a "bunad" instead of "fantasidrakt". They're also the same people who would arrest (not literally but u get what I mean) anyone not having their hair in the right style while wearing a bunad, the right silver, the right shoes, even wearing sunglasses with their bunad, as sunglasses obviously are not historically correct... So beware of the bunad police. However most young people would love not only the design of your drakt, but also the fact that you designed it yourself and sewed it, all out of appreciation of the culture! Maybe you already know this, but in order for the bunad to be real, the dress would have to be made out of wool, and the shirt of either linen or a type of wool. Also, you would have to follow a spesific pattern from one city, and one pattern only - mixing patterns from different cities is not allowed. This is because the bunad that one is wearing, somewhat represents either your native city or your family roots! People like to recognise each others bunads, perhaps somewhat like the way one wears a particular football scarf/shirt in order to tell which team one "belongs to". So when one chooses a bunad, one is not supposed to just choose the one they think is the prettiest, unless they have some familiy connection to the very place that the bunad represents. The neckline that you gave the dress, it's really cute, but it's a clear give away for a norwegian that it's not based upon a true bunad pattern, especially the silver buttons that you used. The silver pins that one puts in the neckline are called "sølje", and also here one is supposed to use the very sølje that goes spesifically with one's bunad. As a Norwegian, I guess I would have appreciated if some of this info would have been included in the video, because other foreigners out there who might want to get to know the Norwegian culture better, they might think your dress is 100% accurate, since you wrote in the title of the video that you're making a historically accurate costume. I know you did your research, but that still doesn't make your drakt a bunad. Haters gonna hate, but it's a really thorough and strict clothing tradition. In the end I guess I seem to be a part of the bunad police as well... But I appreciate the video and the drakt! If you ever have the oppurtunity, please come to Norway on the 17th of May! I think you'll have a wondeful time:) And if traditional folk costume interest you, I'm sure you'd love to visit Norsk Folkemuseum, and also specialised tailors like Husfliden in Oslo:) Best wishes from Norway :D
As a Norwegian American, I need to inform you that are definitely mispronouncing all of the norsk. "Bunad" is not pronounced "Bu-NAD," it's pronounced "BOO-nad." I can't type the other sounds you messed up accurately enough to get the proper pronunciation across, but google translate could give you a good example of the pronunciation. Dress is amazing, though!
Something about the way the arm-holes are shaped on the back of the vest is *so* aesthetically pleasing
Aren't they awesome??? When I saw that on the bunad examples on the Norwegian museum site, I was like YES PLEASE!
Having a separate skirt and vest held with hooks and eyes is a great idea ! And the finished outfit looks great :D
Thank you so much! I love hooking the pieces together too. It makes it so easy to swap looks and interchange pieces. I feel like this is so practical for style!

Thank you so much! I love these lacing hooks too. The metal filigree ones are so lovely!
This is so awesome! You did great! I’m Norwegian, and my bunad is by far my most beloved possession ❤️
I absolutely love this! I have a couple of authentic Norwegian-made bunads - and yours looks amazingly similar!! Great job!
This is really lovely! It seems a lot closer is style to Anna's outfit!
Thank you so much! Yes, they totally based Anna's costume on this style from the era! I'm totally inspired to do something for Anna as well. 😉
Gorgeous outfit! I love how the motifs pop against the dark blue; great choice! 😍
Thank you so much! I loved putting these colors together!

What undergarments would they have worn? Did they wear stays or was the bodice meant to be the support garment? Were their stockings commonly decorated with clocks?
(I am a Norwegian seamstress)
They would have worn just a petit coat, shirt, dress, stockings, apron, cap, shoes, purse, and if they choose a shawl or cape. The bodice is suposed to be the suporting garment, and they did not wear stays. It is usaly made of wool with linen lining, and is therefore quite thick. The stockings are usualy not decorated, but in some parts of the country they are embroidered with flowers and other ornaments.
Norway was under the Swedish rule in 1840. So Frozen is set in The Sweden-Norway kingdom.
Bunaaaaad 😅
Nice wig
Thank you!
What are Dutch braids and how do you do them?
Dutch braids are just two braids that you start with the hair like on your scalp, You could find a video on how to do it pretty easily 🙂. Sorry my explanation wasn’t very good lol.
Similar to a French braid but the braiding is done wrapping and adding strands under rather than over.
I did Dutch braids in this tutorial here (which also includes hair taping and adding extra hair in case you want longer / more)! th-cam.com/video/wr59k3qYrZs/w-d-xo.html
I hope it helps! I love doing these braids to keep my hair out of the way - and for costumes! :)
Good job on the dress, it looks wonderful!!
If I may, I would like to give you some more information regarding the Norwegian folk costume and it's traditions:)
First thing, sorry, but the pronounciation of bunad is wrong:/ You put too much accent on the a, like bunàd, but it's rather bùnad. (Now I know how Italians feel when people consequently mispronounce their proper nouns like focaccia etc. Anyone calling me a nitpicker simply does not understand the struggle..!)
Technically, what you just made is called a "fantasidrakt" which is when you make a costume that's not really 100% a bunad, but inspired by it! Fantasidrakter are quite common among young norwegians who either want to do their very own thing, or sometimes simply cannot afford a real Bunad as they're super expensive(!). I think if you went to Norway on the 17th of May, a lot of old conservative people, that we like to call "bunadspolitiet", that is the bunad police, could have some negative response to the fact that you call your dress a "bunad" instead of "fantasidrakt". They're also the same people who would arrest (not literally but u get what I mean) anyone not having their hair in the right style while wearing a bunad, the right silver, the right shoes, even wearing sunglasses with their bunad, as sunglasses obviously are not historically correct... So beware of the bunad police. However most young people would love not only the design of your drakt, but also the fact that you designed it yourself and sewed it, all out of appreciation of the culture!
Maybe you already know this, but in order for the bunad to be real, the dress would have to be made out of wool, and the shirt of either linen or a type of wool. Also, you would have to follow a spesific pattern from one city, and one pattern only - mixing patterns from different cities is not allowed. This is because the bunad that one is wearing, somewhat represents either your native city or your family roots! People like to recognise each others bunads, perhaps somewhat like the way one wears a particular football scarf/shirt in order to tell which team one "belongs to". So when one chooses a bunad, one is not supposed to just choose the one they think is the prettiest, unless they have some familiy connection to the very place that the bunad represents.
The neckline that you gave the dress, it's really cute, but it's a clear give away for a norwegian that it's not based upon a true bunad pattern, especially the silver buttons that you used. The silver pins that one puts in the neckline are called "sølje", and also here one is supposed to use the very sølje that goes spesifically with one's bunad.
As a Norwegian, I guess I would have appreciated if some of this info would have been included in the video, because other foreigners out there who might want to get to know the Norwegian culture better, they might think your dress is 100% accurate, since you wrote in the title of the video that you're making a historically accurate costume. I know you did your research, but that still doesn't make your drakt a bunad. Haters gonna hate, but it's a really thorough and strict clothing tradition.
In the end I guess I seem to be a part of the bunad police as well... But I appreciate the video and the drakt! If you ever have the oppurtunity, please come to Norway on the 17th of May! I think you'll have a wondeful time:) And if traditional folk costume interest you, I'm sure you'd love to visit Norsk Folkemuseum, and also specialised tailors like Husfliden in Oslo:)
Best wishes from Norway :D

I'm afraid you have the wrong Disney princess! (Ariel is great too.)
As a Norwegian American, I need to inform you that are definitely mispronouncing all of the norsk. "Bunad" is not pronounced "Bu-NAD," it's pronounced "BOO-nad." I can't type the other sounds you messed up accurately enough to get the proper pronunciation across, but google translate could give you a good example of the pronunciation.
Dress is amazing, though!
It is NOT pronounced BOO-nad lol, im norwegian and Buunad is much closer. The u is not pronounced like an O
