Vintage 30s Traditional Dirndl Costume

I've had some beautiful and interesting things come into the shop recently.  This is an original 30s Bavarian Dirndle dress with matching apron. The work in it is amazing, all the pleating, gathering, tucking etc all hand done on the prettiest of floral printed fabric.

 Fastens with hooks and eyes and has a removable white lace bodice piece that fits on with poppers.

 The colours are beautiful with a pale dusky blue and pale coral pink decorated with a white eidelweiss floral pattern.

Some of the gathering in the sleeve.
