Yes, I finished my daughter's authentic Dirndl costume for her trip to
Oktoberfest in Munich Germany!!
And from the back:
(of course I had to braid her hair for photos!)
Hard to see, but there are medallions where the cord lace through.
Below is a closeup of the pocket. Amber beaded and embroidered it and it turned out so cute. It's rather hard to see in the photo, but the white seed beads are the outline of the state of Minnesota, and the silver embroidery says Minneapolis Minnesota USA!
Here she tried it with knee highs rather than tights.

Gorgeous work - love the addition of the state - in beads no less! Oh, what fun - safe journey.
Congratulations Mary! You did a great job!!
Super Sweet!
I majored in German in college (LOVE that culture!) and grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota. I always love finding little connections with bloggers who I enjoy reading.
Your daughter looks fantastic. What a pretty girl, and the outfit is grand.

Oops, I should have written "daughter's dirndl". But you are still a wonderful grandma (and a great mom, too).
Great outfit! (Cute daughter, too!) I love the fabrics and the beading.
Was a very nice dress. I was in Amsterdam last year. Excellent! Bon Voyage!
Excellent job on the sewing and the beadwork is terrific :)!
Beautiful. She will have a blast!
The costume looks fantastic Mary. I could see the map straight away. The knee highs look cute.
Beautiful!! Hope she has a wonderful time.
Awesome costume - you did a great job on it! I love the state embroidery.
I hav ebeen to Oktoberfest in Munich much fun to be had and lots of oompa music... she might not want to ride the rides in the skirt though :)

great job Mom!!! really like the pocket with the cleaver little Minnesota embroidered/beaded on it...
You did a wonderful job! I'm sure she is thrilled :-) How fun for her to have a dress like that and a mom that can make it happen :-)
Great job, Mary, I like the bodice fabric.
It turned out just great. What a lot of work that must have been! I think I like it with the knee highs. Looks very German that way!
