This traditional Austrian dirndl dress is made from a cotton and wool mix fabric and is wonderfully soft to the touch.
Labelled Salzburger Trachten Osterreich von Wenger it was most likely made in the 1970's.
Inky black in colour it has a fine foliate design woven into the fabric which is so pretty close up. The close fitting bodice has a button front closure and features horizontal tucks. The skirt is fabulously full and features incredibly fine shirring on the sides and back.
A timeless design which would work well for any season.
