Edelnice TrachtenmodeBavarian Women's Designer Midi Dirndl Rosalie Dress 2-Pieces + Apron Size US2-US22

Let me start with the fact that the quality and detail of this Dirndl is STUNNING. The ONLY problem I found with it was trying to find the right size. Trying to find the correct size with any online dirndl dress is hit or miss. But they do try to help with size charts etc. I'm returning this only to get a different size.Dirndls tend to run smaller in general. They're supposed to be snug and form fitting. If you have a larger chest I would size up another size. But truthfully, the top part is small because it's designed for "the girls" to come up and out and say hi. Not to contain them down into hiding. There's no room for them there.Everything else about this outfit is beyond quality. LOVE the side zip instead of back zip. It makes it so much easier to get into the dress if you have a pear shape body and have a tightness issue trying to get into the dress.Everything is double line and thick quality construction. Even little details of hidden buttons to hold the apron up in front to prevent it from sliding down. The apron on this design is just a little heavier due to the beading on the bottom edge. And let me say that the beading is exquisite and so sparkly. The picture doesn't do it justice!

I get SO MANY compliments on this from my German Society friends! They are all jealous of the craftsmanship. Be sure to order up a few sizes from what you would regularly as it runs quite small. I went up two sizes, but three would have been even better. I'm 5'8" and at 140lbs a 40 is comfy; at 148lbs it's quite snug; normally I would have ordered a 38 but thankful for reviews that said it runs small. Wish I could justify buying more in different colors! It's truly gorgeous and I love every excuse to wear it.

I went with the advice from other reviews and bought a size up. However, it felt a little loose on me (without the apron tied tightly). I'm 5'2", so the hem falls below the knee.In my opinion, the color is much less vibrant in-person than in the description (I personally ended up returning mine because of this reason). Otherwise, the quality is pretty good for a costume piece.

This dress is so well constructed and beautiful. The bodice is lined and there is a heavy duty zipper on the side to fasten the dress. The ruching around the neckline is great. The bodice and skirt are of a matching background color while the bodice has a small floral print and the skirt is solid with a wide band of a large floral pattern around the middle. The apron is lace with beaded flower clusters in pink. The material is heavy quality and will hold up. This is not a Halloween or costume dirndl. I bought a dirndl blouse separately to wear under it and also white knee high lace socks because this is the traditional look. I think I would pair it with a brown shoe as the traditional black would be too harsh paired with these light colors. So, for warm weather my outfit is mostly complete. Although, I am thinking it would be nice to obtain a jacket, hat, and coordinating shawl and/or neck scarf for colder weather.

I'm a 0-2 in US sizes, I had to send it back once, the second time I really needed a size larger but you guys didn't have it and I had Oktoberfest so I didn't have time, HOWEVER, this Drindl is Beautiful, thick quality fabric, I had to Crisco myself into this thing and not breath all night I was worried the zipper or fabric would pull it tare, nope, it hung in there. In other news I need to figure out whatbthe heck Europe's eat, so this thing fits comfortably by next year. Zickie Zacke Zickie Zacke Hoi Hoi Hoi!

This dirndl is just as high quality as all the reviews say it is! I'm 5'0", 95lbs; I ordered a size 32 and it's a bit snug in the waist, but definitely wearable (I typically wear a size 0 US or smaller if available). My only complaint is that it seems to be made for a much taller woman. It's longer on me than it looks on the model (almost to my ankles) and the torso is also too long - I can easily fit 3 fingers between my shoulder and the shoulder strap at the top of the dress. It's not noticeable enough to make me want to return it though. I can probably get it tailored or just use safety pins for a better fit. For the price, you can't beat the quality! It even has a pocket. I'm very excited to wear it to the Texas Renaissance Festival Oktoberfest weekend in a few weeks!

First.. if you are of a bigger size, but don't have the chest to go with it, this dress isn't for you. I am between sizes. A 50 is too small, and this 52 was a bit bigger. And just because I am 5'9, 228, I do not have large boobs. So, I had to have a friend take the back apart and make it a bit on the smaller size. Once she helped me, it fit perfectly. Everyone wanted to know where I got my dirndle. They assumed it was from Germany. I found great shoes to go with. Take it from a German dancer, this is a beautiful dirndle, but it's a costume and not a traditional dress.

I didn’t have high hopes for this dress but I was pleasantly surprised! The beaded apron is stunning! It fit true to size. Can’t wait to wear this in Munich this October.
