Folk costume

The apron and the bag from my mothers folk costume (Leksand) from the 1920s. I think this things were bought in Leksand and my grandmother made the dress in cotton flannel

Here she is wearing it

I can´t find a good photo of a girls folkcostume from Leksand on Flickr. It´s not alike the grown up womens - the girls wear a yellow dress. What I found was this nice photo of the church boat in Leksand with two girls in that yellow dress.

My mothers dress was more orange than yellow, I don´t know if the standard has changed. I know because I have seen it, it was very worn out, so in the seventeens it passed into a rag rug. The colour was just perfect for that.
