GloryStarWomen's Blouse Bavarian Oktoberfest Costume Traditional Dirndl Blouse Shirt Cropped White Shirt

Missing an important part of the dress

I ordered a few different drindles from various companies on amazon, for Octoberfest in my home town. I was looking forward to this 'Glory Star' red and pink polkadot babe one the most and it did not dissapoint! I will be returning the others. This dress is good quality, breathable cotton. It is not a cheap costume. It arrived on time and as promised there were three pieces; blouse, drindle and appron. The ribbon for laceing up the front is included. In the picture, I am wearing a ribbon I had lying around the house. I will save the pretty red ribbon they provided for Octoberfest. This dress is beautiful! It looks just like the one on the model. I love the details like the traditional front zip closure, the frills around the neckline, the pretty metal clasps and the piping on the back. So girly! I felt this was really good value for the money and worth every penny! It fit true to the size chart. I am a 44inch bust, 38 inch waist. I am 5ft 10inches tall and over 200lbs. I ordered the 2xl and it fit great. Good length, falls just above the knee. Very comfortable. I was suprised the blouse fit well, I wear a 34K bra(not a typo, just big ol jugs). The blouse has a draw string so you can adjust the amount of cleavage you want to show. And it's a sleevless design so there is no tight arm elastic, which seems to be a common compliant for drindle blouses with sleeves. I definetley reccomend going with your measurements. I may have my dress taken in a tiny bit by a taylor just to get that perfect fit but it is'nt necessary. If you are inbetween sizes I reccomend a size up and get it altered rather than a size down and possibly end up with a too small dress. Oh and it has one pocket!!! Hallelujha! I would definetley order from this company again. I will likley post a pic after the event so you can see it all fresh pressed in it's full glory. Proust!

I'm about 5'9, 204lbs with broad shoulders and hips, but my waist is 11 inches smaller than my bust and hip measurement, so I'm curvy; and I have largish arms. The white shirt fit nicely, though a little snug on my arms where the elastic is, but not terribly so. The dress fit as expected- meaning I read the measurements in the description and knew the waist would be a bit big, which I may be able to take in a bit at the side seams, maybe. The bodice zipped up fairly easily, which almost made me wonder if I should have gone for the next size down (XL) to get a more snug fit. However, my shoulders are so broad that if I had, the back and shoulder area would have looked funny and probably would have been uncomfortable, so I'm glad I didn't. The bodice is very well and sturdily constructed. The skirt part of the dress feels like it needs a slip or lining, so I'll need to wear something underneath. The length was great- it came right to my knees! I was worried that with my height and high waist, this dirndl would be ridiculously short, but it's just right. I'm kind of wishing I'd gotten one of those bra booster contraptions to go with this so that the ladies would get a boost up, but alas, I did not. I'm planning to wear this to a themed (It's a Small World After All) waltz and vintage dance weekend for the evening dance, as well as for halloween. I also bought one of those fake braids to wear as a headband to help complete the look. Overall, for the price of the ensemble ($49.95), it was definitely worth it. I expect I'll be able to get more uses out of it for qute a while.

I actually did wear dirndle to Oktoberfest in Munich. I added my own ribbon to apron because it was to plain. The real ones aren’t so matchy matchy so I’d suggest to change it up with a patterned apron and various colored ribbons. I did see other women with these there. Iron and add your personal touch to stand out.

This is a GREAT blouse for the price. Wear mine every other day to work- and it’s held up great so far for a few months. Get compliments on how pretty the lacing is on the sleeves, and it doesn’t rip it’s very strong yet looks so delicate.I bought a couple other lace sleeved shirts that were double, some triple the price of this one, and they’re all unusable and ripped already in a months time, some in under that time.This one has stood the test of time/washing (don’t dry in the dryer on hot- only on tumble low heat if absolutely necessary) for at least the 3 months I’ve had it.Very thick in front and not see thru. I feel the sizing is also right on the money. I’m between a medium and large top (size 8-10 on top) 36 B cup, went with the large, and it fits great after a few washes/wears. Looks big when you first take it out- but does shrink up a TAD with first wash- regardless of drying method.This blouse is one of the best kept secrets of dirndl blouses on amazon. If you’re on the fence/ order it! I will be getting a couple more !
