A Norwegian child's national costume is traditionally a bunad (or a simplified daily version called a stakk or festdrakt) worn for special events like Syttende Mai (Constitution Day), christenings, and weddings. Like adult bunads, children's versions often reflect regional designs tied to a family's geographical origin in Norway, with over 450 distinct regional styles. Because full traditional bunads with hand-embroidery and silver are expensive and children outgrow them quickly, many families opt for a stakk (a simpler, less costly skirt-and-bodice combo) or a festdrakt (party costume). A complete traditional set typically includes a wool or brocade skirt/bodice, a white cotton or linen blouse, an apron, matching headwear or a small cap, and silver or pewter brooches and clasps. The bunad tradition is officially recognized as a living part of Norway's cultural heritage and is listed under UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage.
