Mols Region folk costume (circa 1820-1830) from "Folkedragter i Danmark" by Ellen Andersen, 1952
The bodice and apron are both printed. An unusual aspect of the Mols folk costume is that its distinctive apron pattern hails from the Rococo Period (1720-1770) even though the entire outfit was worn during the Empire Period (1795-1830).
The Mols headgear used an older "bearded" style which consisted of a wide neck strap. As for the nattrøje, in the image above the model is wearing one where the sleeves are sewn directly onto the bodice, which was less warm than a full-sweater nattrøje.
This stunning Mols costume is remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its faithfulness to the original 1952 image above. A tremendous effort to ensure authenticity.
