its a very cute dress, but i did feel the slightest bit self conscious wearing this since i have a smaller chest than what youd typically see wearing this. it was very cute though! i do recommend this dress to anyone, but if you also have less to present up top, you could maybe try to tweak it a bit to your comfort level (thats what i did!)

While this item runs small it seems well made and is cute style for Oktoberfest party. Just size up one.

So I have two other dirndls that I have purchased from Germany that are authentic and pricey. I have been wearing them so much I wanted something new. I saw this one and loved it but was worried about it being cheap with the price. Well the quality is great. Thinner than my authentic ones, but it's usually too hot for all that anyway. I love how comfortable I am in it also and love the colors on it. I purchased the large but was too big. I'm 5'4 165lbs. Easy return and bought the medium. It fit perfectly!!! Highly recommend this dirdl.

I am a "plus size" and short person. It is Difficult to find clothing that fits. This dress fit perfectly.. no alterations needed. I washed it on a regular gentle cycle and dried on a low heat"¦ no ironing needed!! I bought one in the scarlet and one in blue!! I attend many Oktoberfest events and I am very pleased with this dress!!

We purchased two versions of this Drindl, both of which are excellent values for the price.

One thing particularly nice about the black/red version is the lovely embroidered apron.

The blue dirndl with coral-colored apron ("color-1") is such a lovely floral pattern!

Both: the hooks and ribbons are nice and the side zippers make it much easier to get into and out of. The neckline "ribbons" and the piping are sewn well. The blouse is a very nice bonus, especially considering the low cost.

The fabrics aren't "heavyweight" so they're perfect for warmer fall days, but it aren't so lightweight as to be "see-through" either. Adding a petticoat would be a nice touch for those wanting a fuller look.

I disagree with the reviews that say these don't fit "bustier" women! We found the sizing to be just as indicated for the dress (the blouse may be a different story but it's well-hidden anyway), and rather flattering as well. Perhaps there's just a bit of difference in the individually-sewn dresses? Either way, it's worth the risk to try this brand. After all, the price is very reasonable for all three pieces.

Overall, a nice option at a good price, especially for infrequent use (like attending Oktoberfest each year).
