(Code: FWP123)

The Dirndl dates back to the Renaissance and is one of few regional costumes still worn extensively in Austria, southern Germany, and Switzerland. Additionally, a favourite at Renaissance Faires and Oktoberfests, this three-piece outfit enhances the maiden in you. The complete dirndl consists of a close fitting sleeveless bodice with attached full skirt, over an abbreviated blouse, finished with a contrasting apron.

View A the dress is cut just above the bustline and buttons in front to the waist. It's blouse is lightly gathered into a jewel neckline with a self-tie.

View B's bodice is cut wider and deeper- below the fullest part of the bust- and fitted with bones and small gussets. The front opening fastens with hooks and eyes.

Suggested Fabrics: For the Dirndl, choose medium to heavyweight cotton, silk, wool, velvet, or corduroy. For the Blouse and Apron, choose light to medium-weight cotton, silk, rayon, or blends. The Apron is also nice in taffeta.
