Österreich/Austria

Collectible dolls wearing the traditional costumes/styles of different regions of Austria. Dirndl Dress is a kind of traditional dress commonly used in Austria, Bavaria and other parts of the Eastern Alps.

I read that the way that the bow of the pinafore is made signals the marital status of the woman: If the bow is on the right side, she is engaged or married; if it is on the left side, she is available. If a woman wears the bow on the back, she is a widow..

Claudia writes that she wears her traditional dresses on special occasions.
