This traditional Bavarian dirndl costume features a fitted bodice designed to create the authentic structured silhouette characteristic of German folk dress. The bodice is designed to fit snugly while the skirt portion provides comfortable movement perfect for festival celebrations and dancing. This is costume sizing designed for Oktoberfest and cultural events.

Important Sizing Note: This item follows Asian sizing standards and runs 1-2 sizes smaller than typical US sizing. We strongly recommend sizing up at least one size from your usual size for comfortable festival wear. Traditional dirndl bodices are meant to be fitted, but you'll want room to breathe, eat, and celebrate comfortably all day. When in doubt, choose the larger size.

Fit Tips:

• Bust and waist measurements are critical for dirndl fit—the bodice is designed to be fitted in traditional German folk dress style
• Measure at the fullest part of your bust and natural waist, then compare carefully to the chart
• Traditional dirndls have structured bodices that create the authentic silhouette, so proper sizing is important for comfort
• The apron ties around the waist, allowing some adjustability in that area
• Due to Asian sizing, if you typically wear US size M, we recommend ordering L or XL
• For festival wear, comfort is essential—you may be wearing this costume for extended periods, so ensure adequate room
• Consider that you may be eating and drinking at Oktoberfest celebrations—a slightly looser fit is more comfortable
• When between sizes, always choose the larger size for comfortable all-day wear
• All measurements have a 2-3cm variance due to manual measurement
• If you have questions about sizing for costume or cultural dress wear, please contact our customer service team

Q: How should I tie the apron bow?

A: Traditionally, the apron bow placement has meaning: tied on the right side indicates you're single, left side means you're taken or married, center front suggests you're a child or server, and center back indicates you're widowed or a waitress. For costume purposes, choose what feels right for you!
