Review on Oktoberfest Costume For Women: German Bavarian Beer Girl Dirndl Dress - 3-Piece Set By JASAMBAC by Nick Walker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for the price for my opinion

This was a quick decision purchase and i was on a budget so I wasn't as knowledgeable about true dirndls at the time. It fit okay. A little snug, but I got it on. I usually wear XXL items but this material has zero give which is why it felt a bit snug but even a day of drinking beers and eating brats, I felt comfortable. Keep in mind this isn't an authentic dirndl, the materials are very costume like and cheap feeling compared to the real deal. That being said, it gets the job down appearance wise. The blouse that it comes with is an absolute H*LL NO. I was afraid I was going to have to cut myself out of that thing when I tried it on. Even as a cheap blouse with the dirndl it is not good. I ended up spending the cash at a site called raredirndl for a much better blouse. It made all the difference. I was ready to return this product if I still had to wear the blouse it came with but changing it out for a quality one made it worth it. I also paired this with a petticoat which I would highly suggest due to its light cheap material. The petticoat will help the dress from flying up in the wind and make the quality seem a bit better. Speaking of quality, because it was so cheap and they don't really advise heat to the material I just let them hang on a hanger for a week prior to wearing them rather than trying to iron or dry the wrinkles out. I was afraid it might damage it before I could wear it so the wrinkles remained throughout the fest.In the end, It's not like I was wearing this in Germany where I would have felt like this costumey quality would be an insult. Most everyone, at least at our Okterberfest, purchased similar quality dirndls if they dressed up at all and were not that educated on the wear. So this did the trick for a quick wallet friendly dirndl purchase and I received so many compliments. That being said, I hope to afford a legit one next year and would prefer not to wear this again.

Pros
  • The costume allows you to embrace your inner beer girl
Cons
  • The costume is not suitable for office environments
