I know that at least one of you illustrious folks will know exactly
where to find what I'm looking for.

I've recently be asked to join an ethnic vocal music group at our
church (they needed a tenor). Problem is this. I'm the only "white"
person, as the rest of the members are all from different parts of
the world, i.e., Japan, Ethiopia, etc. They all wear their native
dress when giving performances. The best I can come up with is to
try to make an outfit (dress?) with a Scandinavian flair, as that is
my heritage.

Can someone suggest a source for a pattern or at least a picture that
I could draft something from? Help!!!

Googling
scandinavian "folk costume"
gives lots of hits. These places http://makeashorterlink.com/?R1CD26F27
http://www.scanfest.org/Zfolkdress/fokdress.html
http://users.rcn.com/edstrom/body_index.html
sell patterns.

Google - so easy. Why isn't it the first place everyone looks?
