The classic Dirndl

The classic Dirndl is the epitome of traditional Bavarian costume. Made of high-quality cotton a Dirndl feels very pleasant on the skin. Classic and simple, the cotton Dirndl can not only be worn for the Oktoberfest, but also for various other festive occasions such as weddings or birthday parties. Usually this costume is high-necked, but there are also models with a neckline. You get Dirndl dresses mostly in the classic colors red, blue or green. In our online shop you can buy this decent traditional costume at a special price.

The Landhaus-Dirndl

There are only minimal differences between a Landhaus Dirndl and a classical Bavarian dress. A country style Dirndl looks more like a summer robe and does not have a classic bodice. In the upper part these country house costumes have buttons and no chain lacings and are characterized in the lower part by a medium skirt length. Many women prefer a country house Dirndl, since it is not extremely decorated and appears more modern. Choose your preferred country house dresses from linen and cotton. You can buy your favourite model in the online shop.

The modern Dirndl

With an incomparable combination of haute couture and traditional trachten style, modern Dirndl dresses inspire. Although they resemble a classic Dirndl in their form and fitting, they also present fashionable and trendy elements. Modern traditional costumes are mostly made of particularly fine fabrics and look more like an elegant evening dress with a hint of tradition. Preferred colours for modern dresses are black or dark blue. Some models are also available in extravagant colour combinations. This Dirndl guarantees a glamorous appearance at the Oktoberfest.
