The Very Messy History of the Dirndl | A Deep Dive into Bavarian Tracht

How you ever wondered how the Dirndl came to be the "stereotypical German costume"? Where did the Dirndl come from? In this video I deep dive into the historical roots of this Octoberfest staple.

There are so many more Bavarian tracht and Austrian dirndl types that I had to leave out, because this video was already waaaay longer than I ever intended to be, so if I left out your favourite I apologise!
