@hrhgeorgiana: Let’s get a dirndl for Oktoberfest! This is Solo Dates episode 45, and today I’m shopping for my first ever dirndl at Daller Tracht (pr gifting). Tracht means traditional German dress, and this is a huge shop selling all the clothes you need for Oktoberfest. There are hundreds of dirndls to choose from: wedding dirndls, blouses, baby dirndls, antler bottle openers, jackets, jewellery, shoes and bags for ladies, and hats, lederhosen, waistcoats and jackets for gentlemen. I’ll be honest, I had no idea where to start. Not only are there three million dirndls to choose from, but you have to decide what length you want, the style, the cut, whether you want buttons or a zip, what colour or pattern… and then do the exact same for the blouses. Which neckline? Lace or no lace? What sleeve length? All whilst factoring in the prices too. Dirndls here range from around €180 to €700, and I’ve seen people pay over €4,000 for an outfit! It was so overwhelming because I had no idea where to start, but the best thing to do was start trying them on. I first decided on the length. I didn’t want anything too high on my leg or down to my ankles, so I went for 70cm. Then I figured out which colours suited me, which I think were the reds, pinks and greens. Once I’d decided on the dirndl, it was time to choose the blouse. I wanted something elegant and not too revealing, with sleeves, but also not super old-fashioned. The shop assistants were super helpful too. I asked one what she thought of my outfit, and she told me I needed a smaller blouse so it didn’t look as baggy. There’s also a water station in the middle of the shop, which was a godsend. And after 20 blouses, 15 dirndls and three hours, I did it. I chose my dirndl! Next time I get one, it’ll be so much easier, and I hope this helps you choose yours too. I’ll put the address of Daller Tracht in the caption. This is the one I chose in the end. It’s one of the more common styles in the shop, so you can get it too. It’s super comfortable and I love it! Vielen Dank an Daller Tracht für die Hilfe!
