The Grafferbunad is based on an embroidered skirt from the Graffer farm in Lom. It probably dates from the end of the 18th century, when it was worn with a loose skirt or coat. Then, at some point, it was sewn together with a newer type of waist. It was this newer bunad custom with a sewn-together bodice and skirt that became the starting point for the shape of the Grafferbunad.
