Today the 17th was Norway’s national day so we got dressed up and went out to join the parade, eat cake and ice cream, and listen to marching bands – the typical stuff! I got to put on my homemade festdrakt that I made for the occasion; the skirt is a redesign, the vest is made from scratch using brocade and these gold clasps (?), and the blouse was a lucky find at the second hand store! Very happy with how it turned out. If you look closely, the seams are very far from perfect, but still a fun project and practice. The only thing needs changing is that the skirt didn’t hold the vest in pøace very long; because fabric is so silky and the vest is quite short, so I need to come up with a solution for that 🪡 Any suggestions?
