Norwegian Bunad Mermaid!
I received a ton of recommendations on mermaids to illustrate with historical fashion inspiration and I'm excited about it. A few of the requests were for a Scandinavian/Norwegian/Bunad mermaid and off I went. I found a really cute little article about bunads with some great reference specific to a coastal Norwegian area. I combined said reference with even more shell and sea details... and a fork for reasons... It was really fun and I think she turned out really cute!

We're going to make the bodice next weekend. I'm making the version on the left lady on the right picture.

Å være nordmann er å lengte hjem når du er hjemme, og lengte bort når du er borte. - Sigrid Undset To be Norwegian is to long for home when you're at home, and to long for away when you're away.

I’m supposed to be working but I have Bunad Brain so I can’t stop thinking about my favorite modern trend: the Fantasistakk (Fantasy Dress) in which you do literally whatever you want with the materials and traditional techniques you have at hand, condemning all regional convensions put in place in the early 1900′s, and make a dress your peasant ancestors probably would have offered their first born to the Hulder for. It’s so good.
Most of these are from Eva Lie Design except for no. 4 & 5 that are by Embla Bunader
the ones by Eva Lie are designer and known for pushing the boundaries, while Embla is more affordable and less extravagant. Though some of the coolest examples of Fantasistakk I’ve seen have been the ones people design and sew themselves, that I’ve just happened to see on the street, and it’s just so good I love this trend I hope it never dies
