Meine Neue Dirndl

Andrea, her mother and my aunt,  Renate, and I did a little shopping today. I have a new dirndl with shoes to match! I'm definitely a Deutsche Frau. We also visited a Puma outlet where we bought shoes.

The dirndl is mostly worn in Austria and Bavaria. It is used as an everyday dress primarily by older women in rural areas. Other women may wear it at formal occasions and during certain traditional events. It is hugely popular also among young women at the time of the Oktoberfest in Munich. In Austria and Bavaria, the dirndl may often be seen on women working in tourism-related businesses, and sometimes waitresses in traditional-style restaurants or biergartens. Ok. It´s just a lot of fun to wear one!
