I wanted one where the apron matched the dress closely enough that I could wear it as a regular dress. Fortunately it still fits me, and I still wear it. I copied some of the ideas when I made a dirndl for my daughter years ago when she was small. I used my pleater to add in the detail around the waist, and I rearranged and combined two different trims to come up with the trim on that; the suggestions here are much nicer. I have been planning to make myself another dirndl, this time in black with folk embroidery, probably done my machine. I'm glad you have a dirndl obsession--it may kick start me into starting mine.

My mother and I were making our dirndls this week for Oktoberfest this past weekend. We wanted to make that origami trim, but had the darndest time finding instructions for it! We did come up with something, but your post here would have been ever so useful. Love your blog, and looking forward to seeing how your dirndl turns out!elventrysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270061909850643523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-20809046894470332742015-09-20T17:51:40.993-04:002015-09-20T17:51:40.993-04:00Obsessed with the dirndl since I first sang along ...Obsessed with the dirndl since I first sang along that the hills are alive with the sound of music. It's just so charming, and since I have always identified with my German heritage above all others, I can't help myself. I love this peek into handcrafted trimming, and how can anyone not love "frog lips"? mommylaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250103339769960821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-16791587546751559962015-09-20T01:41:51.629-04:002015-09-20T01:41:51.629-04:00i too fell in love with the dirndl when i visited ...i too fell in love with the dirndl when i visited Germany in 1987, i was only there two days and i found one shop that would open up for me as it was late on a Saturday. I found a dirndl i spent way more than I had on any dress and it is made beautifully, I wore it for many years and still love it to this day. I wish I could still fit into it, if I could I would still wear it. They are truly a work of art.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853229144714749635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-92159442318229843082015-09-18T18:12:37.857-04:002015-09-18T18:12:37.857-04:00This book,Ribbon Trims: An Embellishment Idea Book...This book,<a href="http://amzn.to/1V15vxs" rel="nofollow">Ribbon Trims: An Embellishment Idea Book (Embellishment Idea Books</a> has a lot of those trims, I bought it to use for trim ideas for Victorian dresses. The directions are clear and there are lots of photos.<br />If you can get your hands on a copy of Mary Gostelow's book," Embroidery-traditional designs, techniques and patterns from all over the world." check out the Bavarian Blouse pattern, it is a dirndl like look with smocked sleeves. The book is full of interesting ethnic inspiration.<br />regards,<br />TheresaTheresa in Mèridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217945138741786373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-71881709285458093202015-09-18T15:41:51.441-04:002015-09-18T15:41:51.441-04:00Here are some online tutorials about Froschgoscher...Here are some online tutorials about Froschgoscherl.

They have a couple of very solid books (costly!) on Dirndl construction and embellishment, as well as special issues of their monthly magazine Rundschau Damen. It is in German, but I saw those books and their well illustrated, so a lot of things are obvious. Also, there is a dedicated trim book (in German), with technical illustrations of trim making - it is a collection of trims from Germany, traditional ones, not the mass produced. I have the book, it's called Ruschen (http://www.amazon.de/R%C3%BCschen-Anita-Hennrich/dp/3980852725), I love all things dirndl, and especially notions: silver buttons, chains for the corselets, special plastic wire to make a raised pattern on the dirndl vest, and got everything to make two dirndls for my girls - but alas, so far it is still in planning. I also took a course from a woman in a Bavarian village who makes wedding dirndls, as well as regional Trachten (every village has its own color palette and silhouette). It's addictive - I can understand you :)Marina von Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005718145291109978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-10820511801139863072015-09-18T12:02:05.948-04:002015-09-18T12:02:05.948-04:00I was going to say, those remind me of a lot of th...I was going to say, those remind me of a lot of the trims used on Victorian gowns.
