DIRNDLS

All enlargeable


 

Now these are dirndls!  ...in the true sense of the word

most of which reflected the town from which they originated. This kind of hints at that.

A while back, we had a short discussion about dirndls, and how many modern 'dirndls' do not reflect the historic definition.
Here are some that qualify under the classic definition:

From Roland L.:

"A nice shot from a catalog of the dirndl seller Redl (in Munich and other sites).

Next time, at the Oktoberfest, we will see some of them walking along the Wies’n."
