Today I finished a small box with a variation on the traditional women’s dress for festivities.
The roses are not the ones that normally are used for the rose hat (only worn by unmarried women)
Last summer I had a coffee-talk together with six older ladies from Dalarna. There was discussed about my boxes and whether or not it was important to correctly follow how the different parts of the traditional clothing should be used. The ladies didn’t grant me much freedom, the common conclusion was that it had to be followed correctly.
This I normally always do, however only this once there is another rose pattern that actually belongs to the scarf of the dress for everyday life.
You can find it in the fiasask webshop.
