Women's Oktoberfest Dirndl Midi Dress with Floral Bodice and Satin Apron

This dirndl midi dress pairs a dark floral bodice with a deep green skirt and a wine red satin apron, the three pieces a traditional dirndl is built from. The bodice is structured and closes with a button front, so it holds its shape through a long day rather than softening by the afternoon. The skirt is gathered at the waist for the full silhouette that makes the shape recognisable, and the apron ties over it to set the waist exactly where you want it. It is cut for Oktoberfest and Alpine festivals, but the midi length and the floral detail carry it to a Bavarian-themed wedding or a beer hall dinner just as well.

• Floral Bodice: The print carries the whole outfit, so a plain blouse and flat shoes are all it needs to look finished.
• Buttoned Bodice: Buttons let you set the fit at the bust without a cord to retie, and the dress goes on without pulling it over your head.
• Midi Length: Mid-calf is the traditional dirndl length and the practical one: it clears the ground at a beer table and works with both flats and a heel.
• Gathered Skirt: Fabric gathered at the waist gives the full, swinging line a dirndl is meant to have, and it skims the hips instead of gripping them.

Fitted bodice with a full gathered skirt; take your usual dress size. Available in sizes S to 3XL.
