dirndl

A traditional dress worn in Bavaria, Liechtenstein, Austria and South Tyrol, based on the historical costume of Alpine peasants. An iconic outfit for female beer servers during Oktoberfest.

A dirndl consists of a bodice and skirt or a pinafore dress, a low-cut blouse with puffy short sleeves, and a waist apron.

The position of the apron bow traditionally indicates a woman's marital status:

• Bow on left: Single
• Bow on right: Married
• Bow in middle: Virgin
• Bow in back: Widow (or waitress)
