Dirndls

The dirndl dresses have a long and interesting history. This traditional garment originated in the Alpine regions of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland as a traditional dress for women. The style is believed to have been in existence since the 19th century, but it gained more widespread popularity during the 1960s. Since then, it has become a popular fashion trend all over the world as well as a representation of southern German heritage
