Each project begins with a passion for true quality–embroidered patches, faux fur cut with care, and hand-selected fabrics that are as durable as they are comfortable. They were influenced by urban fashions, costumes in neighbouring regions, available materials, as well as fashions in the royal courts and in the military.

The Tyrol has a tradition of the heiligen Tracht (holy folk costume), which is not to be worn on secular occasions marked by drinking. The garment was praised in 2001 by designer Vivienne Westwood during a visit to a fashion event in Austria. The seamstresses they employed produced elegant dirndls from colourful printed fabrics, predominantly silk, which were exhibited by models from the firm in the Alpine resorts.As with other folk costumes, traditional dirndls often come in two forms: one for everyday occasions, the other for traditional festivals and formal wear. The promotion of folk costumes similarly strengthened national identity in a visible way, especially against French-inspired fashions.

Disney queen Elsa was lucky to have a sister like Princess Anna, and your Costume Party will be equally lucky to have you there in this Sexy Costume. Across the United States there are dozens of German-American cultural or heritage clubs, such as the Donauschwaben heritage clubs.

There is increasing evidence that Germans are coming to view the dirndl as a German, rather than an exclusively Bavarian symbol. Led by Silvia Sommerlath (later Queen Silvia of Sweden), the hostesses wore sky-blue dirndls as a promotion of Bavarian identity. A recent adaptation is the African dirndl ( Dirndlkleid à l'Africaine), which is a fusion fashion: the bodice and skirt are made from African printed material.

Festive dirndls were especially worn at events associated with the Catholic church, such as Sunday church services and public pilgrim processions. Since the late 1990s dirndls and Lederhosen have come to be regarded as obligatory wear at the festival.
