Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Ever since I tried on a dirndl at a local fashion store, I wanted to have my own. After my friends and me went to the Oktoberfest in Munich last year (with four of the girls actually wearing dirndls!), owning a dirndl kind of became an obsession for me. And this year, with at least three visits to traditional fairs in southern Germany (the only place where a girl like me, from the North of Germany, can actually wear a dirndl without feeling utterly stupid), I can finally give in to my obsession :)

Sieht echt super aus, besonders die Schürze – man sieht echt, dass viel Liebe zum Detail drinsteckt. :) Hier im Süden sind Dirndl im Herbst wirklich nichts Besonderes, auch wenn viele (mich eingeschlossen) den Hype nicht verstehen. Aber gut, Stuttgart ist ja auch nicht München. ;)

Your dirndl is lovely and you look great in it. Such a special national costume!. The needlework that you have done on top of the apron is beautiful and I really like the braid or embroidery around the neckline of the bodice. Well done and continue to enjoy wearing your dirndl.
