Why do you need a dirndl blouse?

Trachten-Dirndlbluse-Kruegerdirndl-30143-108-weiss56be0befa5308As a newcomer to the whole dirndl thing, you could be forgiven for thinking: “Dirndl blouse? Sounds like an excuse to upsell me something I don’t need.” After all, there’s no shortage of questionable accessory products out there – it’s almost impossible to by even a pair of trainers nowadays without being offered a special “trainer cleaning sponge” (it’s just a sponge) and “sneaker inserts” (really, they’re just normal insoles). But a dirndl blouse really is a) very different to a normal blouse and b) quite essential.

Dirndlbluse-Stockerpoint-B2025-schwarz-AThat’s because “a dirndl” is in fact a combination of three things: the actual dirndl dress, the apron, and the dirndl blouse. Dirndl dresses have bodices which are designed under the assumption that you’ll be wearing a specially cropped top, and indeed many dirndls are sold with matching pieces. Some, however, aren’t, in which case you’ll need to source one separately; and even if your dirndl comes with a blouse, it’s always a good idea to buy another two or three so that you can rotate them (you’ll need to wash the blouse far more often than you’ll need to get the dress cleaned).

Dirndlbluse-Rueschen-B8030-weiss-bordeaux-A587a1c185aa8bc4kQ4D9i2gjOjAnother reason you might want to add an extra dirndl blouse or two to your basket is so that you can kit out your dirndl for different occasions and times of year: although all dirndl tops are cropped under the bosom so that the bodice fits snugly around the midriff, they offer varying degrees of cleavage and shoulder cover and also come with a variety of different sleeve lengths. Dirndlbluse-Stockerpoint-B1035-weiss-AXahGgSk42P1HHYou’ll find everything from elbow or even full-length sleeves for colder weather through to light off-the-shoulder numbers for when the mercury’s rising; then there’s the choice between skimpier, come-hither numbers with plunging necklines and more formal attire with ruffles, ruche, and far less flesh on show. Some blouses feature sheer lace on the arms, for example, combining modesty with allure, while others using braiding and puffs to increase the breadth of shoulders, helping to emphasise slimness at the waist. In short: whatever kind of dirndl look you want to achieve, the cut, material, and design of the blouse is essential.

Trachten-Dirndlbluse-Stockerpoint-HC4040-schwarz-AThe majority of dirndl blouses are white, and most dirndl designers either include a matching top or assume that you’ll be wearing a white one. Some designs, however, are made to go with a black blouse – generally more formal evening wear – and there’s an increasing number of creams and beiges out there, as well as white blouses livened up with tonal details such as coloured embroidery, hem-stitching, or even buttons.

With around 60 different blouses on offer, we’re sure to have exactly the one you’re looking for. So get inspired and see how you can use blouses to compliment your dirndl – and perhaps even save you buying another one. See? That’s the very opposite of upselling…
