Danish term or phrase: sceneskrud
"Her fandt en veninde engang et fantastisk sceneskrud til ingen penge, som hun siden da har givet adskillige koncerter i."

This is from a short description of a second hand clothes shop in Berlin. Can't find "sceneskrud" in any dictionaries.

English translation:Stage costume
Explanation:
'Skrud' means robe, dress, outfit, costume, usually in the context 'det helt store skrud', i.e. somebody dressing up big time, maybe in a big ball gown or a fancy wedding dress. The word 'sceneskrud' is just a word that is made up of scene and skrud, as you can with Danish nouns. So, this would be a fancy outfit to be worn on stage.
