Product Information

While Germans know all about hard work and due diligence, they also know how to cut loose and make with the partying.

In Germany, the dirndl is traditionally worn only in Bavaria, [86] where it is deeply integrated in the traditional culture.The current designs have been in use since at least the 1930s, but their origins can be traced much earlier. This costume runs large, more like an XL to XXL; the waist is elasticized and measures 44-50 inches, with an inseam of 13 inches.

Currently, six official types of Alpine tracht are recognized in Bavaria, each with designs for men (lederhosen) and women (dirndl): Miesbacher Tracht, Werdenfelser Tracht, Inntaler Tracht, Chiemgauer Tracht, Berchtesgadener Tracht and Isarwinkler Tracht. By that year, the dirndl was considered a 'must' in the wardrobe of every fashionable American woman. Dresses similar to the dirndl, featuring skirts with bodices, aprons and blouses were commonplace in Europe from the 16th to the 18th centuries.No matter if you are planning a Oktoberfest party or you just want to experience a relaxed evening at a biergarten - traditional costume shoes are a safe choice.
