The beautiful women's Salling folk costume has three elements that set it apart from other Danish costumes:

a. headgear: this distinctive piece of lace has flaps that fold up at the ears and is called a "wing cap."

b. bodice: the shoulder straps of the bodice actually detach unlike almost every other Danish bodice. They are tied to the front of the bodice by a colorful ribbon (see images here and here). This reportedly mimicked an upper class fashion. The bodice was also designed so that it could be tightened with lacing within its lining. The two halves of the bodice front were attached over the lacing with pins. It was made of black shiny wool with yellow silk ribbon edges.

c. a thick pillow underneath the skirt to augment a woman's figure. This was an upper class fashion from the 1600s and 1700s.

​

Additionally, the costume also had the following less exotic elements:

d. scarf made of bright printed cotton.

e. apron of bright printed cotton.

f. skirt made of black worsted yarn with a printed light blue pattern.

There is also a men's Mors/Salling folk costume, which is unusual because most men's costumes are found throughout Denmark and not just from one region.
