The Eura dress was discovered in Finland in a grave dated between 1020-1050. In this video, I will show you an interpretation inspired by this style and how a woman in Finland during the Viking Age / Iron Age of Finland could possibly have looked.

Hello! I would like to note that since the Eura dress is an ancient Finnish dress, it is not Scandinavian, Norse or viking. Finland isn't in any way a part of Scandinavia. The nordic countries can be considered to have a common culture though. Finland hasn't really had vikings, but was a target for their raids and traded with them. Norse seems like a pretty vague term also. Yes, Finland was a part of Sweden from the 12th century (conquered through crusades, so Sweden was christian at this time) to the 19th century. Because Sweden was already christianised and since the majority of the people living in Finland were ethnically and lingually Finnish, I wouldn't call it Norse. I do not mean this in any hateful way, just wanted to point out some facts. It is nice to see international interest in the ancient Finnish dress. Your dress here is a very sweet version of the original, love the colors!

In addition to Pirkko-Liisa Lehtosalo-Hilander, archaeologists Leena Tomanterä and Seija Sarkki were members of the working group that restored Eura's hostess's costume between 1976 and 1982. Like its predecessor, it was made from woolen fabric woven on horizontal looms, the threads used for which were spun by hand. In addition to Finnish vegetable dyes, indigo obtained from India was used in the dyeing. An effort was made to make the shades resemble the originals as much as possible. The turquoise green overskirt got its color from birch leaves, heather (Calluna vulgaris), and indigo, which was also used to dye the blue underskirt. Nettle was used to dye the gray apron, and the roots of Ahomatara (Galium boreale) and shepherd's wort (Galium album) were used to dye the orange-red ribbons and belt threads. The red of the board straps is made with matara root and pine cones.The costume jewelry was made by Kalevala Koru using the same technique as the originals

Lovely version. The great thing about this outfit is that it covers many millenia. It could be pre roman or Anglo Saxon too. And it suits all body shapes including handling pregnancy. Making the peplos out of heavy wool would handle winter nicely.

I totally agree, and that would be so lovely for winter!

If this is missing anything, it is more bling and clinky bits. Especially the aprons were heavily decorated with bronze for many centuries, they seem to have been a centrepiece of the outfit. People would also wear jingle bells and belts with hanging metal bits such that you will be heard - this could have been to protect yourself from wild animals by making yourself heard, or from bad spirits, we don't know for sure. It just seems you want to be loud not just visually but literally when moving, if you have the money. We actually have evidence for late iron age Finnish hairstyles (ca. 1200), because one hairbun was preserved in a grave in Ristimäki at Ravattula. So wearing it in a simple bun is evidenced. There's also evidence for various sorts of jewelry you put on your head, which hang down and end up giving the impression of earrings.

Our former president mrs. Halonen wore this to the president's independence day ball some years ago.

The garment is really lovely and it get´s even cooler because it is so simple. Basic rectangles and a few pins create such a unique, well fitting and versatile garment.

Daisy, not only is the dress beautiful, but this video is very inspiring. Beautiful location, too! I have a number of linen "Viking" shirts for history bounding. They're comfortable, but I make them much shorter to wear under apron dresses, etc. Lovely work! Truly!

Lovely video. I've not researched the Eura dress and was interested that the peplos wasn't connected at the sides. The peplos's I've seen in Anglo Saxon reenactments have been joined. Love the way your dress looks, gives the style a completely different effect. 😍

Cotton fabric didn't come into common usage until the 16th century. It's staple length means it needs a specific spinning technique, so only wealthy people would have been able to buy the fabric. So linen and wool fabric was much more common (when hand spinning you can get much finer "thread" so the fabric can be made more lightweight).
