The Faldbúningur The Faldbúningur is an older type of costume worn by women since at least the 17th century and well into the 19th. In its most recognized form it incorporated a hat decorated with a curved sheet-like ornament protruding into the air and exists in two variants. One of which is the krókfaldur (the hat in the first image.) and the other is the spaðafaldur (hat in the last four images.). Previously a large hat decorated with gold-wire bands was worn with it, as well as ruff which is the reason for the faldbúningur’s wide collar, which was designed to support it. Later, around the start of the 18th century women started to wear the much simpler tail-cap with it.[Wikipedia] | Sources: [x] [x] [x]

Faldbúningur 18th Century Faldbúningur is the oldest form of Icelandic folk costume, and had gone out of use by around 1850, but has been to some extent revived today. It was also the starting point for most of the other forms. It is characterized by a large white headpiece that curves forward. This was called the krókfaldur.

In the mid to latter 18th cent, the high headdress began to be replaced by a stocking cap with a large tube and tassel (tail cap), which was adapted from the men’s costume. | Sources: [x] [x] [x]
