Traditional Dirndl
A traditional Dirndl consists of a wide skirt attached to the “Leiberl”, a fitted bodice, a stunning apron, and a short Dirndl blouse. The skirt of the Dirndl cascade down from the waist or sometimes a bit lower. The length of a Dirndl is subjective to your personal preference and also to the latest fashion trends.
The bodice used to be a separate part of the ensemble, but it was later incorporated and sewn to the skirt. The bodice comes in multiple designs, higher or lower, with a square or round neckline. The dress is fastened with buttons, laces, ribbons and hooks.
History and Dirndl

The practicality and chic factor of the garment made it popular with the Bavarian nobility, and the rest is, as they say, is history.
