For many years, the bunad tradition in Voss has been very strong and the variations on shirt, apron, belt and cloth often had a personal touch. Today, the variations are not so great, but there is still a distinction between married and unmarried women. Married women wear a headdress and shirt with black stitching and skirt has a green border at the bottom. The bunad has a white apron. Married women are also the only ones who wear a boot belt and wide chain a dalar.
