What size Dirndl should I order?
Determining which size dirndl will fit best should ideally be based around the bust and waist measurements.
For the bust measurement, you’ll want to take the measuring tape around the largest part of the bust (typically around your ribcage and across the center of your bust. For the waist, you’ll want to take the measuring tape around the smallest part of the waist… this is usually right around your belly button or a bit above it. Another way to find your true waist is to bend to one side… that bend is your waist.
Ok, I’m measured… now what? Ok, now check out the size chart (above)… Figure out where your measurements fall. Most people will NOT fit exactly into the size chart, and that’s OK!
We understand that everybody and every body is different. Typically it's easier to take a dirndl in than out dirndls are also made with alterations in mind.
If you need alterations made to your dirndl, we highly recommend you go to a seamstress or tailor in your area. It's very difficult for us to make proper alterations when we can not see the dirndl on you in person. Even if we just see photos, it is tricky business, so the best route would be to find someone talented in your area to help you get the perfect fit. We want you to feel the most beautiful and comfortable in your dirndl!
We also offer an Alteration Reimbursement Program. If your dirndl does not fit how you’d like and you have it tailored locally within 30 days of receiving your dirndl, we will reimburse up to $40 USD for the alterations.

I love my new LBD! As my third Rare Dirndl, I love it for its simplicity and versatility. I have a lot of fun switching out the laces and mixing and matching with various aprons to get the perfect look for any occasion! Erika is my go-to any time I need to spice up my collection. Her passion for her craft is really infectious!

From the moment that I ordered this dirndl until I received it, Erika was the most professional. It arrived promptly and was tastefully wrapped, so I knew that great care was taken with my purchase. On the website, the dirndl was absolutely beautiful. However, when I received it and took it out of the box, I marveled at how much more gorgeous it was in person. Erika included such detail in its simplicity. The skirt is made out of a stunning fabric - heavy weight, doesn’t wrinkle, lies nicely with pleats. The bodice is made with a nice weight denim, and she included a fun bodice pocket and contrasting overstitching. The arm holes are outlined with a small sort of piping that gives the bodice a nice finished look. Erika even put thought into the lining - gold cursive writing that works perfectly with the storybook theme of the dirndl. The apron is made out of an elegant fabric and trimmed with 3 pieces of lace giving it a more classy feel. When I purchased it, I knew that I was getting a beautiful dirndl, but what I received was a magnificent piece of art. Every bit of the dirndl was masterfully planned. I could not wait to wear the dirndl after seeing it and wore it to work immediately. I received so many well-deserved compliments.
