Folk Costume!
| Sweden is known for the extroardinary variety in local folk costume, or "dräkt". On the tour you will see many people wearing these traditional dräkter at various events. You will visit stores where the materials, accessories, and patterns for them are available. You can ask makers about the details of the materials, stitching, etc., if you are interested in sewing. There may even be an opportunity to buy a new or used costume already made. |
