FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the One-of-a-Kind Sale Dirndl and a Custom Dirndl?
A: With a Custom Dirndl involved in every step of the design process and Erika hunts down the fabrics and trims that your heart desires. She does multiple sketches, has virtual fittings, and spends close to 35+ hours on these dirndls. The One-of-a-Kind Sale Dirndl

utilizes fabrics that we have in stock at the studio and we will make the most popular style dirndl (Classic Square Neckline Dirndl) to bring the price down for you. We also take more design liberties with the OOAK dirndl to best utilize our large stock of fabrics & trims and also let the dirndl “speak to us” during the process to make sure it looks it’s best for you!

Q: How do I know what size I am?
A: That’s our most commonly asked question, so we made videos to help. Click here to have all your sizing questions answered.

Q: Why are you only taking 50 orders?

A: That’s as much as we can handle and delivery on time. We want to make sure that you have the best product and in order to do that we need to put a cap in it. Don’t want to over stretch those design muscles!

A: Sure do! Plan out the following BEFORE the day of the sale

Know your size
Know what colors or theme you want

Add anything else you want to purchase, like blouses, bloomers etc, to your cart BEFORE the sale opens.

Q: What exactly does the One-of-a-Kind Dirndl look like?
A: Well obviously since it's one-of-a-kind, each dirndl will be different based on your color and theme choices, but they are all the same neckline, our most popular style... the Square Neckline.

So what does that looks like? Here is a basic sketch to help give you an idea.
