Put on the dirndl dress, ensuring the bodice fits snugly and the skirt falls below your knee. Tie the apron around your waist with the bow on the left if you’re single, on the right if married, or in the middle if you’re widowed. Keep the bow neat and not too big. Avoid wearing a very short skirt and too many accessories to keep the look authentic.

Start by measuring your bust, waist, and hips to find the right dirndl size. The bodice should fit snugly around the bust, while the waist should hug comfortably to accentuate your figure. The skirt length should fall just above or below the knee for ease of movement. Overall, ensure the dirndl dress is comfortable and allows for free movement. Our detailed size chart and customer support are available to help you find the ideal fit.

Wear a traditional blouse with puffed or lace-trimmed sleeves under a dirndl for an authentic look. The neckline can be low-cut, square, or sweetheart, depending on your style. You can also wear a supportive bra for the right fit. For comfort and modesty, women also wear a slip or petticoat underneath.

Choose a blouse and a matching apron to style your outfit for Oktoberfest. Wear traditional but comfortable shoes with dirndl to easily walk, dance and explore the festival grounds. You can also wear a cardigan if it gets cold. Add fun details like a flower crown or other dirndl accessories to finish the look. 

To care for your dirndl, check the care label for specific instructions. Most dirndls are delicate, so it’s best to hand wash or dry clean them. If machine washing is fine, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid strong detergents and high heat, as they can damage the fabric. For stains, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Always air dry your dirndl, preferably on a padded hanger, and keep it out of direct sunlight.
