The Henndorfer Rüsche

The Henndorfer Rüsche, also known as the Rosenrüsche, is widely loved above all as a decorative adornment on the Dirndl. Playful and yet never obtrusive, it gives even plain Dirndls a youthful presence. The Henndorfer Rüsche can be worked in one or two colours and in various sizes.

The made-to-measure Dirndl
Every Gössl Dirndl is made with particular devotion; it is considered tailoring craft. With 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

At Gössl, the Dirndl bodice (Laib) has been 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) on the back additionally emphasise the figure in a most charming way and ensure that the Dirndl always sits correctly.

Hexenstich and Margeritenstich

The Hexenstich (herringbone stitch) is a traditional hand embroidery technique in which fine, crossed stitches create a seam that is decorative and stable at once. 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 appears playful and elegant at the same time and brings a light, natural ornamentation to the Gwand. Both stitches stand for traditional handwork and loving attention to detail.
