dirndls
Bavarian peasant dresses
Dirndls are traditional Alpine dresses, especially Austrian and Bavarian, consisting of a fitted bodice, full skirt, and apron.
The style originated as peasant clothing but became fashionable folk costume.
Modern dirndls appear at Oktoberfest and similar cultural events: She bought a dirndl for the beer festival.
The word is also used for any dress imitating this style.
