What is a Dirndl?
Dirndl is a three-part Bavarian costume consisting of a fitted bodice that is attached to a wide skirt, paired with a short blouse and an apron. Dirndl dress has been around for centuries, even before when Oktoberfest was a thing.
The Bavarian peasants were the earliest wearers of a traditional Dirndl. Dirndl is designed with intricate embroidery with traditional Bavarian patterns – making a traditional Dirndl is the epitome of grace.
