Let's explore the rich diversity of Germanic culture, focusing on folk dress, folk music and dance. I will post articles and pictures in this thread as I find them, and I invite everyone else to assist me in this.
Swedish Folk Dress
The Swedish Folk Dress -Sverigedräkten
In 1903 a woman by the name Märta Jörgensen (1874-1967) designed the beautiful Swedish Folk Dress in the colors of the Swedish flag, bright yellow and blue. It was created for the middleclass women as an alternative to that days uncomfortable and unpractical clothes. However the dress did not become popular until after 1977, when it again was introduced, this time by the Nordic Museum. Still today this dress is often worn at weddings and other special occasions with pride and passion.
