Ostenfeld, Slesvig
During the era of folk costumes, Ostenfeld (and all of the Duchy of Slesvig) was controlled by the Kingdom of Denmark. Thus, its costumes are arguably Danish.
Elements:
a. headgear: linen, with a velvet hat over it. On top of all that was a white headdress with tassels in the corners.
b. sleeved shirt: red
c. bodice: black velvet, with silver chain closing the front via eyelets. Silver plates at bottom of bodice.
d. skirt: black cloth
e. apron: blue cotton
f. embroidered collar (krummlornsens)

What an amazingly beautiful costume, elegantly worn by museum staff. What a treat that this remarkable costume tradition has been kept alive.
