This is a colourization I did of a Norwegian woman wearing Bunad, which is Norwegian traditional clothing. The original b+w is from 1915 according to the National Library of Norway.
I got the original b+w from Wikimedia and there is a link to the file on the National Library of Norway: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kvinne_i_Hardangerbunad_-_no-nb_digifoto_20140804_00011_bldsa_PK18072.jpg

Hi I'm a great fan of your blog. Can you say something about the headpieces of the princess of Wales and princess Charlotte at the coronation of Charles III?
I really loved them! Of course I would have preferred for everyone to be wearing tiaras but I had some time to get over that before the coronation so I wasn't still sad. The headpieces were made by Jess Collett and Alexander McQueen. Collett was supported by the Prince's Trust when she started her business which was a nice touch.
I thought the headpieces were a great compromise between a hat and a tiara and I love that Princess Charlotte had a mini version of her mother's. Both of their looks really walked that line of formality perfectly and were overall very flattering and timeless.
The semi-formality and matching outfits reminded me of what Queen Sonja and Princess Martha Louise wore to King Harald V's consecration in 1991. Norway doesn't do coronations anymore but they have a special service at Nidaros Cathedral. Queen Sonja wore a white dress with a cape and a fabric kokoshnik with pearl trim. Then her daughter, Princess Martha Louise, wore a dress made out of the same fabric and a headband.
Also, I am a sucker for symbolic embroidery and I'm looking forward to them doing an exhibition of the coronation clothes so that we can get a better look at the details.

The Swedish commentators about Norway:
The song is about that no one is perfect and that you can be a queen if you feel like it... And that have worked out just fine for Camilla Parker-Bowles.
