Dirndl in Blaudruck linen

Classic Dirndl with a Munich neckline in linen in true Blaudruck blue on the bodice and a skirt in Blaudruck all over. Solid metal buttons. Decorated at the back with a hand-made Hexenstich (herringbone stitch) and a daisy blossom.

The Blaudruck – intense and expressive

The Blaudruck, the traditional blue resist printing, has a long tradition in Austria. It is a true craft, perfected early on and preserved across the centuries. With its strong colour and its contrasting effect, traditional Blaudruck shows a fascinating presence at once. The numerous details that make up genuine Blaudruck arise above all from the demanding production process. For what is printed is precisely what will not be dyed later. Traditional motifs are printed on in precise handwork with pure acacia resin. The natural drying process then takes up to ten weeks. Only once it is certain that the resin can fully withstand the dye is the fabric immersed in the dye bath. Gössl takes up this heritage of textile refinement humbly, yet does not shy away from adding further chapters to this success story and enriching what is traditional in fabrics and refining techniques with new variations. Combined with new colours, Gössl shows Blaudruck as the versatile all-rounder of Tracht.

Hexenstich and Margeritenstich

The Hexenstich is a traditional hand embroidery technique in which fine, crossed stitches create a decorative and at the same time stable seam. It gives the Gwand a characterful, hand-crafted structure and is often used as a symbolic detail for good fortune.

The Margeritenstich (daisy stitch) is a delicate, floral form of embroidery in which blossom-like loops are formed. It is playful and elegant at once and brings a light, natural ornamentation into the Gwand. Both stitches stand for traditional handwork and devoted attention to detail.

The Dirndl made to measure

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 when standing as well as when sitting. The fine Paspeln (piping) at the back additionally emphasise the figure in a very charming way and ensure that the Dirndl always sits correctly.
