Women's Oktoberfest Dirndl Maxi Dress with Striped Skirt

This dirndl maxi dress pairs a black bodice with a laced front with a red, blue and cream striped maxi skirt and a plain black apron, the three pieces a traditional dirndl is built from. The bodice is structured and closes with a laced 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 maxi length and the striped detail carry it to a Bavarian-themed wedding or a beer hall dinner just as well.

• Striped Skirt: Vertical stripes give the eye a line to follow, which lengthens the silhouette that a gathered dirndl skirt would otherwise widen.
• Laced Front Bodice: The cord pulls in as much or as little as you need, so the same dress fits across a size either way and stays put once it is tied.
• Maxi Length: The full-length skirt is the formal end of the dirndl range, and it covers the legs completely so flat shoes never look under-dressed.
• Tie Apron: The apron ties at the waist, so it doubles as the waist adjustment — and the side you knot the bow on is the traditional signal of whether you are single or taken.
