TRANSCRIPT

The dress that the girl is wearing at the Elfros monument, is one of the traditional Icelandic turn of the century dresses. And that was taken from, in fact, an actual dress.
[Interviwer] So the girl who posed for the statue actually wore the dress?
Yes, which exists around here. We borrowed some of them again this year and did an Icelandic fashion show at Thorrablot, and we've done that a couple of times. We've got the dresses kicking around here that are 145 years old, including a wedding dress made out of I think handwoven flax possibly.
