From the 1840-ies a change that came gradually on the "Raudtrøye-bunad" (Red-shirt bunad) resulted to what we today know as Beltestakk from Øst-Telemark. Untill as long as the 1950-ies many elderly women in Norway used this as a festival costumes. Many younger women that wears this cotumes today, have copied their own grandmother`s costumes and thus a variety of colors and patterns appeared.
