When Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway turned 18 last January, the municipality of Nore og Uvdal gave a Bunad of her liking as a gift. Princess Ingrid Alexandra chose the Numedalsbunad. Mayor of Nore og Uvdal, Jan Gaute Bjerke, and seamstress Gunhild Aasen presented the bunad to Princess Ingrid Alexandra at the Royal Palace of Oslo. The Princess shared two photos showing herself wearing the gift bunad.
Those Norwegians "bunads" are the most fantastic dresses and with the silver decorations and all. Just love them! Handicraft at its best! Ac

Lovely garment, on a beautiful young woman. Edwina
ReplyDeleteMost beautiful princess in Europe. Culture and history in one, they provide security or orientation.

Completely agree with you! The Norwegian royal family seems friendly and down to earth, simple but class.
DeleteHow beautiful--what a treasure for an 18th birthday gift!!! Ingrid Alexandra looks beautiful in her new bunad.

Very meaningful and beautiful gift for her indeed!
DeleteTo the one who talked down the young royal gard. Here is what the seamstress said. The princess is very down to earth and nice. I have met her a few times throughout the process of making the bunad, and it was an honour being invited to the royal palace. We do have a lovely and beautiful princess.
ReplyDeleteI don’t see anyone questioning her personality.
DeleteThanks for sharing your experience. It must have been very enjoyable.
DeleteNot here. Someone complained under the prinsjesdagabout Amalia Quote:-And another thing, she never looks really happy on duty, mostly nervous. She has that in common with others in line to the throne: Ingrid-Alexandra, Elisabeth, Leonor and Christian. They all look like they want to be somewhere else.
DeleteCompared with Estelle for example, who is always joyful, curious and seems genuinely happy....so I was being a bit sarcastic here since Ingrid always smile from ear to ear and don't have a problem with interaction with others on the job.
Yes, you have!
DeleteShe looks fantastic. css
ReplyDeleteShe looks fabulous. How beautifully crafted.
