= Østfoldbunaden = Østfoldbunaden for women is a bunad with green or rusty life, black sticks and embroidered accessories, which were drawn on the initiative of Østfold Husflidslag in 1936. The bunad is used throughout the county of Østfold.

Presence
Following the great cultural, business and industrial exhibition of the Østfold Exhibition in 1930, there was great enthusiasm for the craft in Østfold and getting a separate bunad for the county. . In 1936, Østfold Husflidslag appointed a committee for the preparation of a bunad for the county.

The committee collected suits from the county and collaborated with the Norwegian Association of Norwegian Handicrafts in Oslo to draw a pattern for a new bunad. This work was done by Johanne Halvorsen, Else Poulsson and Halfdan Arneberg.

In line with Hulda Garborg's bunad ideals, it was emphasized that the bunad would combine old traditions and modern form and function. After inspiration from Klara Semb, it is also emphasized that the bunad should be done with old stitching techniques.

Design
Life on the bunad is in green or rusty linen and wool mask, with stylized fir trees and snowlife. The stack is in black wool, with green or rusty edge at the bottom. A white linen shirt is used for the bunad with a white geometric embroidery on. This shirt is a copy of a bridegroom shirt from Onsøy.

For the bunad, a black silk shawl is used with embroidery, and similar hat and loose. The version of the 1960 bunad also features a striped apron in red, yellow, purple and black, which is then used with a hat in red silk mask. The bunad belongs to silver, consisting of buckle buckle, two shawls and silver, plus the teaspoon and shoelace.
