Mein selbst genähtes Dirndl

From frog tongues to apron bows: step by step to your self-sewn dirndl. Anyone born on a Wiesn opening Saturday can only become a passionate dirndl wearer! That was certainly the case for Dorothea Wilhelm. After the great success of her dirndl blog, she is now releasing a book with her mother Birgitt for everyone who wants to design their dirndl according to their own ideas. Whether you dare to sew a completely self-made dirndl, just want to modify your old model, or add some flair: "My Self-Sewn Dirndl" provides you with all the necessary information!

• Assemble the dirndl that suits you from two patterns and numerous variation options.
• Learn which traditional fabrics combine best and where to get the fabrics for your dirndl.
• Benefit from Birgitt Wilhelm's many years of experience as a hobby seamstress and her detailed instructions, such as how to take in or let out.

Who wore the dirndl in the past and where should the bow actually go? In the Alpine region, it is said that a dirndl suits every woman. The authors of this book not only tell you where the traditional dress comes from and how to sew it from the bodice to the apron yourself, but also how to properly care for and wear it. The two patterns from pattern director Katharina Jung are designed for sizes 34–50 and leave no questions unanswered. Anyone who then combines the right accessories with the dirndl is sure to be a standout at the next Wiesn!.
