Sønderjylland woman wearing distinctive Sønderjylland burgundy headgear and what looks like a Flensborg skirt
A real rarity in Danish folk costumes - the color yellow! Only Læsø Island's costume and the Fanø men's costume has anything comparable in hue.

This is the skirt fabric of Flensborg, Slesvig (now called Flensburg, Schleswig). It is a town that today sits on the German side of the modern-day Danish-German border. Until 1864, it was under Danish control. Thus, its costume is arguably Danish.
