Edelweiss Creek 3-Piece German Oktoberfest Dirndl Dress Short Black and Gold

I run an Oktoberfest type event so this is my 5th dirndl. Quality is good for this price point. A common complaint with dirndls is blouse sleeve sizes seeming to be too small, but this one doesn’t have that issue. I’m a 12/14 and the 44 fit me with a little extra breathing room. There are a couple reasons I dropped down a star:-the blouse smells bad. Kinda plastic-y or like finger nail polish.-the Edelweiss embroidery is only on the sides. The apron usually covers the part where it isn’t though.-the zipper is in the back. I prefer that over a front zipper so I don’t have to redo the lacing everytime. However I prefer a side zip dirndl.- a LOT of loose threads. Prepare to spend time trimming.-the apron ribbon is strange. It’s like they are using one size fits all or didn’t plan that it’s supposed to front tie. I barely had enough to properly tie it.-stark white shirt with a cream apron is a little odd. I’ll probably find a cream blouse to wear instead. It’s also a pretty modest blouse compared to others I have. That may or may not be a plus.

Love the dress! Mine was missing the apron but John in customer service with Trachten sent one right out to me…EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE and wonderful quality! Sized up and fits perfect!

This dirndl is beautiful and made well enough to last a whole day of bartending for Oktoberfest. I’m sure I’ll continue to wear it for many more Oktoberfests. It seems to have a jacquard type material on the top which is lined on the inside. The side designs on the skirt are embroidered. The only complaint I have is that the zipper needs to be longer, it’s a little difficult getting in and out of. Customer service is excellent!

Wanted to love this, got it for Oktoberfest in New Orleans and we love black and gold. Unfortunately it was one of the poorest quality dirndl’s I’ve had. Paper thin, easy to blow around, poor fit, even poorer zipper, and the apron is just a piece of cheap lace. It was also super crumpled into a ball to ship :(. I have had $40 dirndls that were more expensive looking, I was pretty appalled for the price. Happy I returned the item I found a much better quality one.

This was beautiful but to small, I had ordered a size up from what I normally wear. ( size 6 ) It might fit a normal 6, but I'm a middle age 6 with a larger waist . The material was beautiful and was made beautiful.Highly recommend still

Dress was well made. Waist was really small. It redefined hour glass figure. I probably could have worn it if the zipper went down further

Zipper is too short and makes it hard to put on. Too is a little wide. Dress is pretty though.

difficult to get into. zipper is not long enough to give good access. I ordered a size larger than I usually take and I should have ordered 3 sizes larger to get it to fit in the chest. the waist was fine.

This dress is absolutely beautiful!
