How gorgeous, love the detail shots.

What a wonderful cultural lesson! I love the detail in the dress and the regional/local history each one reflects. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

What an incredibly beautiful and meaningful gift. The workmanship is so obviously excellent. I love how strong and rich your heritage is, and how this connects you to it. Your daughters are so beautiful, and I love seeing you all together in these wonderful dresses. (And your husband is handsome and stylish as well.)

Beautiful.! I love the family shot.

Thank you, everyone, I highly appreciate that you take time to read my novel about bunads:)

Laura, your great-grandfather went to America and became a modern photographer. How interesting! To me, photography and modernism belongs together in the new world. He definitely was handsome. I would love to do more travel in the US some day.

Aida, my husband is very pleased with his girls and doesn't think he is outnumbered at all. He only speaks a bit louder now

Thank you for sharing. I am amazed by the detail and workmanship on the bunad. It is so special that they are still made and worn, especially in a day and age where so many special cultural traditions are falling away. You and your family are beautiful.

Thank you. I believe that the workmanship is the main reason why we cherish them so much. There have been attempts to have the bunads produced in Asia at a lower cost, but it clearly shows, and most people are very against it. We are not after the look here, but the real thing.

Ingunn, thank you for sharing the story of your new bunad and the gorgeous photos! You are beautiful in it, and your family photo is so lovely as well. Congratulations, and enjoy your celebrations!

I love seeing national costumes and reading all the details and back stories about yours and your ancestors was a treat. You all look wonderful.

Enjoy watching the parades today and happy anniversary.

Amazing, special and beautiful. Thank you for sharing, very very interesting!

I loved reading about this tradition, and the detail and workmanship are so impressive.

Your daughters also really look like you! The whole family is lovely.

Really lovely. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful tradition. You and your family look spectacular in your outfits. Thank you for sharing this with us!

I am completely charmed by the dresses and the history behind them, and you and your family of just beautiful Ingunn!

Ingunn, I remember your previous discussions about the bunad. I am so glad you finally have yours -- and what a beauty it is -- and you in it! Your family is absolutely stunning. And you could be your daughters' sister.

Inge- I love your bunad! We have several Norwegian friends and throughout the years they have sent us photos of their daughters in their bunad when they get them. What a beautiful and cherished tradition. The work that goes into these pieces is a wonder! The photo of your whole family is absolutely lovely.

Lovely. The jewelry is very interesting. Looks quite modern.

Awwww! I love the family pic and the beautiful story. Memories made
