Burgundy Velvet Dirndl Dress with Poinsettia Embroidery
This burgundy velvet dirndl dress is made for winter evenings that deserve something special. The deep wine-red velvet, the red satin lacing and bow, and the hand-style poinsettia embroidery on the apron give it a rich, romantic look. It works as a Christmas dirndl dress for markets and dinners, and it stays elegant long after the holidays are over.
Design Details You Will Love
Burgundy Velvet Dirndl Dress bodice is made in dark burgundy velvet with a square neckline. It frames a white lace blouse edge with scalloped trim, and the front closes with silver-tone decorative clasps and crisscross red satin lacing. The shape is fitted and supportive, with a defined waist that gives the classic dirndl silhouette.
A wide red satin sash wraps around the waist and ties in a large bow, with long ribbon ends falling down the front. The full velvet skirt flows in soft folds to a midi length, which is comfortable for walking, dancing and sitting through a long dinner. The back view is clean and simple, with a neat fitted bodice and a pleated velvet skirt.
Poinsettias and Gold Scrollwork on the Apron
The apron is burgundy with a glossy, satin-like shine, and it gives the dress its festive heart. Red poinsettias with golden centers sit among green holly leaves, small berries and curling gold vines along the hem. The apron sits over the velvet skirt and shows a little of the velvet underneath.
The embroidery catches the light under string lights and candles, so it looks lovely at Christmas markets and in evening photos. It adds Christmas charm without making the dress feel like a costume.
Why Burgundy Velvet Is Such a Good Choice
Burgundy is one of the most flattering winter colors. It feels warm and elegant, and it suits many skin tones and hair colors. In velvet, it takes on a deep, soft glow that looks expensive and festive at the same time.
It is also easy to wear again. You can wear it for Christmas, winter weddings, formal dinners and traditional celebrations. If you like deep velvet shades, you can compare it with our black velvet dirndl dress and our forest green dirndl dress. Our black and burgundy dirndl is another dark option, and our black velvet midi dirndl shows how well the midi length works.
How to Style Your Burgundy Dirndl
A white lace blouse with puffed, scalloped sleeves, as shown in the photos, suits this dress perfectly. Please check the product details to see which pieces come with your order. If you want a different style, explore our dirndl blouses or choose a classic white blouse.
For a Christmas market, add warm tights, comfortable boots, a wool coat, a scarf and gloves. For an evening event, burgundy or black pumps, small drop earrings and a low braided bun look polished. Red floral or berry hair pieces, like the ones in our photos, add a festive finishing touch.

Choose the Right Size
A dirndl should feel snug but comfortable at the bodice. Before you order, measure your bust, waist and hips, and decide on the length you prefer. Then compare your numbers with our size guide.
If you need help measuring, read our article on how to measure yourself for a perfect dirndl fit. Our guide to plus size Bavarian dirndl dresses also covers fit and styling. Sizes are subject to availability.
If you plan to wear a thermal layer under the blouse, leave a little room for it. If you are between sizes, think about how long you will wear the dress and what you plan to eat.
Caring for Velvet
Velvet looks its best when it is stored well. Hang the dress so the skirt falls naturally, and avoid squeezing it into a crowded bag. Follow the care instructions on your product page so the pile stays soft and even.
