Dirndl-Bras

The Dirndl Bra – important component of the traditional outfit for ladies

The eye catching part of the Dirndl is definitely the neckline. Eyes are drawn to this part of the Dirndl as the bodice has such a wide and deep cut neckline. The outfit can leave a lot up to the imagination which is what makes the outfit so charming. This is why you need a special Dirndl bra for a Dirndl to emphasize the cut of that part of the dress. The most important part of the Dirndl BH is the shape it gives you.  The straps sit further apart from one another as a normal bra and the bow supports the shaping function and gives both breasts the right amount of support. The cups are formed in such a way that they push the breasts up from below. You should also have the straps quite a bit shorter than you would with a normal bra, which is what then gives you that nice form and shape.

Dirndl Push-Up or Balconette Bra? Which is the right choice?

When choosing the right lingerie for a Dirndl the cut of the blouse is very important. The bra should in the end give your breasts a nice shape but they should not be sticking out of the blouse. The most common form is the model with three quarter cups. They are suited to blouses with a heart shaped neckline. If you have a blouse with a really deep neckline then you should wear a bra with half cups. With a care neckline you should wear a balconette bra. Strapless bras are not a good choice for a Dirndl. Of course they guarantee that you don’t see any straps underneath the blouse, however they don’t really have the right shaping effect like a Dirndl bra has and let’s be honest as they say in Bavarian it is all about ‘Hoiz vor da hüttn zu ham’ (good cleavage). The most popular choice for this reason is the Dirndl bra with push-up effect. These bras have padded cups, which mean not only does it provide your breasts with a nice shape; it pushes them up and makes them have a fuller appearance. One more tip: Wash your Dirndl bra before you wear it for the first time to stop any kind of skin irritation – ideally a hand wash or using a gentle wash cycle.
