Hello all, Today I will continue to talk about the Icelandic costumes, specifically the type known as Upphlutur, or bodice costume. This was derived from the faldbúningur by the substitution of the high headdress by the stocking cap, the loss of the jacket, and general simplification of the costume. This became the everyday dress of Iceland. In each of the two images above, you see one example of each of the two variants, one of which was typical of the 19th cent, and the other of the 20th. Both are characterized by plain skirts, striped or plaid linen aprons, and white linen chemises or blouses. Here are two women in the 19th cent. Upphlutur. Here is a schematic showing the salient points of this variation. The stocking cap is large and stays on easily. The bodice is simple, with ribbons or small panels of embroidery to either side of the front opening. A silk kerchief was tied around the neck. Skirts were usually black, but aprons are made in many colors. One of the main points of this costume is that it made for ease of movement, it was easy to work in. The back of the bodice was also ornamented with ribbons. This costume has one again become popular, and is often seen. In the 20th cent. the upphlutur underwent some changes. It became more dressy, and was no longer worn for everyday. The cap became smaller, while the tassel became larger. This made it necessary to hold the cap on with pins. The bodice acquired filligree metal jewelry in place of the ribbon or embroidery on either side of the opening, and a belt with jewelry was once again worn. The blouse is sometimes dark, and the plaid apron may be made of silk. A neck kerchief is no longer worn with this variant. Here we see a 20th cent upphlutur on the right, a rather transitional version on the left, and the faldbúningur in the center. Some closeups of the metalwork on the bodice and belt. The back of the bodice became somewhat simpler. The new form of the cap is rather unwieldy, but is attractive enough if you can keep it on. The upphlutur of either version is the costume most commonly worn by girls. Younger girls often wear a different cap. This costume in either variant remains perhaps the most popular of the Icelandic costumes, and is widely worn still today.

Today I will continue my series on Icelandic costumes with description of the Peysuföt, or jacket costume. This was also derived from the faldbúningur in the late 18th cent, as was the upphlutur. The peysuföt was the sunday dress costume. It discarded the bodice but kept a simplified form of the jacket. It also included a silk kerchief around the neck and the stocking cap, as well as a striped or plaid apron like the upphlutur. The peysuföt also underwent changes from the 19th to the 20th centuries similar to those of the upphlutur. Of the three images above, the woman seated in the third image is wearing a 20th cent. version, while the other three are wearing 19th cent. versions. The jacket may be knit. It originally had one row of buttons, but these were soon discarded. Here are two women wearing the 19th cent. version. This print was made by the Danish artist Frederik Christian Lund when Iceland was still part of the Danish Empire. Notice the Dannebrog flying from the building in the background. The jacket shown is made of woven material with a small peplum. The older form of the stocking cap with a smaller tassel is worn with this costume as well. The front of the jacket often had a gap. The apron and skirt are the same as those worn with the upphlutur. The changes made to this costume in the 20th cent. mirror those made to the upphlutur. Here is a schematic of the20th cent. version. This remains a popular costume which had never stopped being worn for special occasions. Notice the hook on the back which holds the cap securely to the braids. The braiding sometimes became very elaborate. The neck kerchief was replaced by a silk band around the collar with very large ties. This bow became the chief focus of ornament for this costume, often being embroidered or otherwise decorated. The cuffs have a semicircular extension over the back of the hand, the edge of which is often tatted. The plastron which is visible under the opening of the jacket is often ornamented with lace or openwork. The tie in front can be in many colors. It is usually held in place with a brooch. The set in sleeves of the jacket are often peaked. The apron may be the same quiet plaid or stripe worn with the upphlutur, or it may be dark and of a finer material. This one appears to be a print, or perhaps even painted. This one has lace applique. Some seem to be embroidered, like this woman on the left. Her companion on the right is wearing an upphlutur with a dark blouse and apron. I will close with a few more views of this costume. Thank you for reading. I hope you have found this interesting.

Hello all, Today I continue my discussion of the National costumes of Iceland with a description of the last two types, Skautbúningur and Kyrtill. Both of these were designed by the artist Sigurður Guðmundsson in the 19th century. The designing of Folk or National costumes by a particular person is more common than one might suppose. Other examples are the Swedish National Costume, the Amalia Costume of Greece, and the Nestor Costume of the Canary Islands. Some of these costumes catch on, others die out. Both of the costumes designed by Sigurður are still in use, although not as common as the other types. The Skautbúningur is shown above. It is an attempt to modernize the older costume, the Faldbúningur and was always considered to be a formal costume. Here is a schematic showing the various pieces of this costume. You will notice the headdress, which is adapted from the krókfaldur. It consists of three pieces, the cap itself, which resembles the old krókfaldur greatly, except for being much shorter. A metal circlet, or tiara, which encircles the base of the cap, which may be plain or more highly ornamented. And the veil, which is anchored by the tiara, hangs far down in back, and is secured by a white satin ribbon. The jacket resembles that of the Peysuföt greatly, except that it has no satin tie and is always embroidered around the front opening and collar, either in gold, silver or silk. In this photo you can see the lace covered plaston, as in the Peysuföt, and for the same reason. The jacket is held closed by a pin, an old Scandinavian tradition. A highly ornamented metal belt is worn with this costume, which often has a piece hanging down. The cuffs are ornamented with embroidery, and sometimes with fancy buttons. There is no apron, in keeping with 'modern' ideas of the time, but the skirt is embroidered with foliage or floral motifs, most commonly in shades of brown in silk. There are various pattens, and the extent of the embroidery varies. In all, this is an elegant costume, and deserves to be still worn today. A few more images of this costume follow. When needed, a cape is worn with this costume. Note that the jacket did not always gap in front. In some versions of the costume, the veil is made shorter. The second costume designed by Sigurður Guðmundsson is the Kyrtill. Here is a photo showing a seated woman wearing the Skautbúningur and a standing woman wearing the Kyrtill. The Kyrtill is Sigurður's idea of a Viking garment. It is a simple dress with 3/4 sleeves cut at an angle. It does, however incorporate Sigurður's version of the krókfaldur and the belt which is worn with the Skautbúningur. Here is a schematic of the Kyrtill. It has a square cut yoke, into which both the sleeves and the body of the dress are gathered. It is often ornamented with one or more rows of ribbon, and is sometimes embroidered. Otherwise, this is a very simple garment, and not similar to what the Viking's actually wore, as we now know from archeological finds. It is made in various colors, most commonly black, blue, or white. This concludes my survey of the women's costumes of Iceland. I hope that you have found this interesting and informative. You should now be able to identify each of the costumes in the following images, Feel free to contact me with requests for research. I hope to eventually cover all of Europe and the Former Russian Empire/Soviet Union. I also gratefully accept tips on source materials which i may not have. I also accept commissions to research/design, sew, and/or embroider costumes or other items for groups or individuals. I also choreograph and teach folk dance. Roman K.
