Melange-Dirndl

The high-necked Dirndl in cotton/linen jacquard shows a finely textured, mottled hand. A hand-embroidered daisy adorns the neckline. The metal-mounted Allgäu glass buttons gleam on the button placket. The traditional Hexenstich (witch's stitch) adorns the centre back.

Allgäu glass buttons

Singularity and lasting value give jewellery made of glass the timeless elegance that is so widely loved. Traditional expertise and manual dexterity are the hallmark of the Allgäu glass bead and button manufactory. Here everything begins with quartz sand, soda, lime and colouring agents. The ingredients are fused under great heat and worked into thin rods. Only now does the actual button come into being: the end of the glass rod is heated to around 1,000 degrees and then pressed into a "Kappl", a mould of steel or nickel. The specialist knows that only the right moment guarantees a perfect result. After 24 hours of slow cooling, the surplus corners are finally removed and the rough surface is smoothed with diamond grinding wheels. In the last step of work these small works of art are refined; depending on the motif, they are vapour-coated with precious metals or artful patterns are ground into them. Every button thus becomes an unmistakable one-off. Gössl completes many models with these small works of art.

The made-to-measure Dirndl

Every Gössl Dirndl is made with particular devotion; it is considered tailoring craft. With the help of seam allowances at the side seam, the waist, the shoulder and the skirt, the Dirndl can easily be altered to two further sizes - one larger, one smaller. In this way the favourite model is perfectly adapted to your own figure with little effort. Every woman receives a made-to-measure Dirndl that fits.

The perfect fit of the Gössl Dirndl

At Gössl the Dirndl bodice (Laib) has been continually developed further for decades. The boning sewn into the bodice conceals every unwanted crease and guarantees a perfect fit standing as well as sitting. The fine Paspel (piping) at the back additionally emphasises the figure in a very charming way and ensures that the Dirndl always sits correctly.
