Instead of representing regions in Denmark, the costumes represented being Danish as a whole and, therefore, they were more alike than the traditional Danish folk costumes.\u003Cbr>Danish American costumes, particularly those usedforfolk dancing, tend tobe characterized by the use of three decorative borderson the skirt. A red ribbon is often used in alacing pattern to close the costume vest, a practice seldom seen in the cos-tumes made in Denmark. The velvet caps, when used with the folk dancing costumes, frequently have narrow lace edgingsand satin ribbons, which hang down on each side of the caps and are used to tie a bow. The white cotton aprons frequently have fine needlework inserts. Red and white fabric is often used to represent the Danish flag.\u003Cbr>Thefolk dancing costumes seen here were worn at special events such as parades, community festivities, and even at The World’s Fair in 1939. This way they have become a way of not only remembering the Danish heritage but also teaching others of the rich history belonging to Danish immigrants and their descendants. |\n| Danish folk costumes represent oneof the most colorful parts of the heritage left behind by Danish immigrants to the united states. some costumes were brought over from the old country; others were made after arriving in the new land.\u003Cbr>Thecostumesthatwerebroughtover served as reminders of the old country – its history and culture, and were passed down through the families that settled here. The costumes reflected a variety of regions in Denmark and were often rich in both color and material. The ones found in the museum’s collection are often missing their original blouse and apron, perhaps indicating that these parts weren’t seen as being as valuable asthe actual dress, vestand pants and therefore weren’t saved or were possibly worn out in more routine activities.\u003Cbr>The costumes that were made in america didn’t reflect regions in Denmark so much as they reflected Danish heritage in general in terms of their colors and uses. Danishamerican costumes were worn in parades, at folk dancing and other events celebrating\u003Cbr>| Danish heritage. They became a significant connection to the Danish roots of the people who wore them.\u003Cbr>This exhibit shows the variation in color and style characteristic of the original Danish costumes; at the sametime it gives a good idea of an emerging fashion characterizing Danishamerican folk dancing costumes.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>“Five-fold bonnets” earned their name from the fivefolds in the back. The bonnets were used throughout Denmark. In the beginning of the 19th century, bonnets with different colored silk embroidery were common. From the 1850’s onward, however, women wanted“clear necks”, which meant bonnets that had only backs embroidered with either gold or silver thread and nothing else.\u003Cbr>These Odsherred folk costumes,(left) made from cotton, wool, chamois, linen and silk, are original Danish folk costumes (now over 200 years old) brought over from Denmark. They were worn by Bertine and Jacob Norregaard at the New York World’s Fair in 1939-1940, as part of the opening event of the Danish Pavilion.\u003Cbr>Bertine Jensen Norregaard’s costumes came down through her family. Bertine Jensen and Jacob Norregaard were in their twenties in 1903-04, teaching gymnastics andfolk dancing atfolk schools in Denmark, when they met. They became engaged, and Jacob sailed in 1905 from Bremerhavn to Tyler, Minnesota.
