The Meaning of the Dirndl Apron Bow
One of the most beloved traditions in dirndl culture is the placement of the apron bow. It carries a quiet message about the wearer’s relationship status: • Bow on the left — she is single • Bow on the right — she is taken or married • Bow in the centre — she is undecided (or simply prefers symmetry) • Bow at the back — traditionally worn by widows or service staff We honour this tradition in all our dirndl and lederhosen designs. |
Find answers to the most common questions about our dirndl and lederhosen collection below.

A: Yes. Our plus-size dirndl range is designed with a properly shaped bodice, comfortable waistline, and flattering full skirt. A good fit makes all the difference, and we are committed to offering beautiful options for every body.
Q 5: Where do you ship to?
A: We ship worldwide. Our customers include buyers from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, and many other countries. All orders come with a tracking number.

A: We provide a detailed size chart on our website. If you are between sizes or unsure, we recommend contacting us directly. Custom sizing is also available for all products at no extra charge.
Q 7: What is the delivery time?
A: Delivery time varies by location and whether you have ordered a standard or custom item. Standard orders typically arrive within 7 to 14 business days internationally. Custom orders may take longer. You will receive tracking once your order is dispatched.
Q 8: Can I wear a dirndl to Oktoberfest?
A: Absolutely. Dirndl dresses are the traditional outfit for women at Oktoberfest and are widely worn at the event in Munich and at Oktoberfest celebrations around the world. Our collection includes a dedicated Oktoberfest range.
Q 9: What is the difference between dirndl and lederhosen?
A: Dirndl and lederhosen are both traditional Bavarian garments, but they are worn by different people. A dirndl is a dress worn by women, made up of a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and an apron. Lederhosen are leather trousers traditionally worn by men, usually with suspenders and an embroidered shirt. Together, dirndl and lederhosen represent the complete traditional Bavarian outfit and are most commonly seen at Oktoberfest and Alpine festivals. At Dirndls Online we stock both, so couples and groups can dress in matching authentic Bavarian style.
Q 10: How do I care for and wash my dirndl and lederhosen?
A: Caring for dirndl and lederhosen correctly will keep them looking beautiful for many years. For dirndl dresses made from cotton or linen, gentle machine washing on a cool cycle is usually safe. Velvet and wool dirndls should always be dry cleaned to protect the fabric and embroidery. Lederhosen made from real leather should never be machine washed. Wipe them down with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner once or twice a year to keep the leather supple. Always store your dirndl and lederhosen in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and hang them rather than folding to prevent creasing.
Q 11: Can women wear lederhosen or is it only for men?
A: Women can absolutely wear lederhosen. Female lederhosen have become increasingly popular at Oktoberfest and Bavarian festivals as an alternative to the traditional dirndl. Women’s lederhosen are cut differently from men’s styles — they tend to sit higher on the waist and are often shorter in length. At Dirndls Online we stock a dedicated female lederhosen range alongside our full collection of dirndl and lederhosen for all occasions. Whether you prefer a classic dirndl dress or a more casual lederhosen look, you will find the right outfit in our shop.
Q 12: What should I wear with my dirndl or lederhosen?
A: The right accessories complete a traditional Bavarian outfit. With a dirndl, women traditionally wear a dirndl blouse underneath the bodice — either white or black — along with white or coloured stockings and low-heeled shoes or traditional Haferlschuhe. Hair is often worn in a braid or updo with a small floral accessory. With lederhosen, men traditionally wear a white or check Trachten shirt, knee-length socks called Loferl, and Haferlschuhe or sturdy leather shoes. At Dirndls Online we stock dirndl blouses, men’s Trachten shirts, and embroidered shirts to complete your dirndl and lederhosen outfit.
Q 14: How far in advance should I order my dirndl and lederhosen before Oktoberfest?
A: We recommend ordering your dirndl and lederhosen at least 6 to 8 weeks before Oktoberfest to allow enough time for delivery and any adjustments. If you are ordering a custom-made dirndl or custom lederhosen based on your measurements, we recommend ordering 10 to 12 weeks in advance. Oktoberfest takes place every year in late September and early October in Munich, so the busiest ordering period is July through August. Standard size orders of dirndl and lederhosen typically ship within 3 to 5 business days, with international delivery taking 7 to 14 business days depending on your location.
