Lolland Island

The beautiful Lolland Costume has several elements:
a. red sweater (nattrøje) with blue silk ribbons along the neckline and sleeves.
b. green bodice that is tied with a criss-cross lace (something considerably less common in Denmark than hooks). In the black-and-white image from Ellen Andersen's book (below), the lacing runs between silver rings.
c. headgear
d. hatbands (black if married; blue if mourning; bright multicolored if unmarried; green for "corrupted" women)
c. scarf: what appears to be two scarves, a white one underneath with a colored one on top (like in the Samsø costume), is an illusion. In this case, there is one multicolored scarf with an edge of white lace.
d. skirt of red wool with two silk bands at the bottom: the upper is yellow and the lower is light blue.
e. apron in a blue-and-white checkered pattern
f. dark blue stockings
