Dirndls and matching tracht

Name origins
A dirndl (IPA-de:dɪʁndl̩) is the name of a traditional feminine dress worn in Austria, South Tyrol, and Bavaria. It is based on the traditional clothing of Alps peasants. Dresses that are loosely based on the dirndl are known as Landhausmode ("country-inspired fashion").

A dirndl skirt generally describes a light circular cut dress, gathered at the waist, that falls below the knee.

In the South German dialects (Austro-Bavarian\Bairisch), Dirndl originally referred to a young woman or a girl, while the word Dirndlgewand referred to the dress. Nowadays, Dirndl may equally refer to either a young woman or to the dress. Dirndl is a diminutive form of the dated word Dirn(e) for "girl"; in the 20th century, Dirne (originally an euphemism) has also developed towards meaning "prostitute". The word is Dirn in standardized German and Deern in Low Saxon.

Dirndls and Landhausmode were abandoned for a while after World War II. While the wearing of the corresponding garments was scarcely popular in the 1970s, it has grown strongly since the 1990s.

In the 21st century, fashion designers have adopted the dirndl, with varying results.

Today, dirndls vary from simple off-the-shelf styles to exquisitely crafted, very expensive models.

The scruffy, sexed-up, open-collar, or economy versions and disjointed dresses that are loosely based on the dirndl are known as Landhausmode (literally "country house style") dresses. The childrern's version is called  Mädchenkleid (girl's dress).
