Linen apron with handwork

Linen twill with hand-worked drawn-thread embroidery, embroidered apron ribbon with tassels. Apron length 80cm

Drawn-thread embroidery

Hand-made drawn-thread embroidery is a fine form of handwork in which individual threads are drawn out of the weave and the remaining threads are artfully joined anew. Delicate, openwork patterns with a filigree structure arise in this way. This technique lends the Gwand lightness, elegance and a particularly high-quality, hand-crafted character.

Linen twill

Linen twill is a linen fabric in the characteristic twill weave, recognisable by its fine, diagonal structure. This weave gives the fabric more softness, flexibility and durability than classic linen. At the same time it remains breathable and cooling – an ideal fabric for comfortable and at once elegant Gwand.

To every apron its bow

Where clothing itself once gave information about a woman's social standing, a new tradition has formed over the last decades. The knowing lover of Tracht is aware: depending on where the bow is worn, custom knows various meanings.

Bow on the left – luck comes aft

When a woman wears the bow on the left side, she shows that she is not yet spoken for. Small, tasteful flirtations are therefore permitted.

Bow on the right – take care tonight

If a woman appears with her apron tied on the right, it means unmistakably that her heart already belongs to another. It also serves as protection against persistent suitors.

Bow in the middle

This is the traditional sign that the wearer is still a maiden. The undecided also like to tie their bow here.

Bow at the back

With the bow tied at the back, the wearer shows that she is widowed.

Gössl's double apron ribbon offers countless possibilities for perfecting this individual Dirndl style. From refined knots to the extravagant fan bow, no limits are set here. Precious embroidery and artful braids make Gössl's aprons the highlight for every occasion – no matter where the bow is placed.
