Tracht

In other news, I bought a dirndl a while back. Since buying it I have notice that Bavarians will use any excuse to wear Tracht: a traditional national costume in German-speaking countries.

Going to a festival? lederhose
Going to the biergarten? lederhose
Going out with friends? lederhose
Market? lederhose
Picnic? lederhose
Lecture at the Zentralinstitut fur Kunstgeschichte? You guessed it....lederhose

Anyway here is a blurry picture of my dirndl. It matters which side you tie the bow on your apron. Left: single, Right: taken. Although from what I have seen men are a bit too intoxicated to notice something that sutble.
