HiZiTi Oktoberfest Costumes Women Dirndl Dresses 3 Pcs German Oktoberfest Dress Bavarian Blue Dress White Blouse Pink Apron

I needed a dirndl dress for an Oktoberfest party. I probably won’t be wearing it more than once so I didn’t need anything super high quality that would last a long time, but I still really wanted something as authentic as possible. This one is a great option bc, although I would put it solidly in the costumey category in terms of quality of materials and cost (this is clearly not an actual authentic dirndl), for what it is, the craftsmanship, fit, and design are very good. As a non-Bavarian person who has done a fair amount of research on authentic dirndls, it has the look of an authentic dirndl (as far as I can tell), down to the single side pocket. The craftsmanship is great. There is a lot of attention to detail, including the lining, trim, and ruffle details. The material of the skirt is quite thin (looks like cotton but is rayon) and I wish it was a bit fuller, but that’s kind of expected given the price. I added a petticoat underneath and it makes the dirndl look waaaaaay nicer. Sizing is true to size and the fit is excellent. I normally wear a size 4 and the small fits perfectly. The length hits right at my knees. I would love to support the authentic dirndl makers, as I do love traditional cultural attire, but I can’t justify the cost for something I’d wear just once. If you’re looking for an authentic looking dirndl that doesn’t break the bank, this one is a great option.

Good quality but sizing is off. Order smaller than they say you should.

The dress is well made. I think it is worth the cost. I purchased one half the price that was cheap and see-thru… glad I returned it and bought this instead. The product description advises that it is 100% cotton however the tag on the dress says. 100% Rayon. I do believe that it is cotton, however. It’s a heavier thread and sturdier fabric than rayon would be—I think the tag is mislabelled.

Very pretty and good quality but the sleeves were too tight. For reference I’m 125lbs 5’3” and typically a size small. I got the small and everything fit well except the sleeves. I’m sure you could stretch them out a bit or make a slit in the elastic to help. I ended up returning it. My friend got the same one in a bigger size. Still snug on the arms but it worked out for her!

Fun costume!
