How to choose your size
Please determine your size using the attached size chart.
Be sure to measure your bust and waist carefully before selecting a size.

For this pattern, we use a German size chart, adjusted for the modern female figure.

If your measurements do not match one size exactly, please choose the size according to your bust measurement and adjust the waist as needed.

The pattern is designed for A4 paper and arranged to use as little paper as reasonably possible.

Every pattern sheet includes a scale ruler / test scale, so you can easily check that the pattern has been printed at the correct size.

Before printing the complete pattern:

Print one page first.
Measure the scale ruler printed on the page.
If the measurement is correct, print the remaining pages.
If the scale is incorrect, check your printer settings before continuing.
The print scale must be set to 100% / Actual Size.

Do not use options such as Fit to Page, Scale to Fit, or automatic resizing, as these may change the dimensions of the pattern.

Sewing your own Dirndl

A traditional Dirndl is a special garment, and ready-made dresses can be quite expensive. Sewing your own is a practical alternative and also gives you much more freedom to personalize the finished dress.

Choose your favorite fabric, piping, decorative hooks, ribbon and other details to create a Dirndl that is truly your own.

The included instructions guide you through the sewing process, with English and German text and detailed process photos for sewing the bodice.

This pattern is suitable for anyone who enjoys sewing and would like to create a traditional Bavarian-inspired dress at home.
