A Dirndl is a traditional dress worn in Germany and Austria, particularly in the Alpine regions. It typically consists of a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and an apron. The design often features colorful fabrics and intricate patterns, reflecting the cultural heritage of the area. Dirndls are commonly associated with folk festivals, such as Oktoberfest, where they are worn to celebrate Bavarian culture. The way a woman ties her apron can indicate her relationship status: a bow on the left means she is single, while a bow on the right signifies she is taken.
