Dirndl Styles to Suit Bulky Body Types
Different dirndl styles best suit the proportions of curvy women. Let’s find out the styles of dirndl according to bulky body types. Knee-length models are suitable for all body types.
A-figure| V-bodice with Dark Skirt Dirndl
The A-figure has strong, bigger hips but narrow shoulders. The typical A-line of a dirndl suits such body types well. It is also advantageous if the bodice, with a balconette neckline and narrow tapered straps, forms a slight V.
Such a bodice neckline makes the shoulders appear wider. The bodice can be patterned and colorful, but the apron and skirt should be made of matte, rather dark fabric.
H-figure| Ruffled Bodice & Eye-catching Dirndl Apron
The H body type looks sporty. The shoulders, waist, and hips are roughly in line. A sweetheart neckline visually accentuates the small bust; ruffles and puff sleeves create volume.
A colorful dirndl in large sizes, with a contrasting waistband and apron, adds charm to the look. A midi or mini-length dirndl is recommended for people with slim legs.
O-figure| Simple Dirndl with Half-Length Sleeves
Women with a strong midsection and a balconette neckline can draw attention from their bellies to their busts.
A simpler black dirndl design goes well with a puristic, colorful traditional blouse in large sizes with half-length sleeves that accentuate your wrists. An apron with vertical stripes is a good choice because it makes you look taller.
V-figure: Carmen Blouse & Apron with Border on the Hem
Shoulders are rather broad, the hips narrow of V body types, and the legs are long and lean. Such women can balance out the V-figure by visually breaking up the shoulder area.
Wear a Carmen blouse in large sizes with the neckline crossed by the bodice straps. This makes the shoulders appear narrower. An apron with a border parallel to the lower area hem can support the effect.
X-figure: Vertical Patterns and Colored Waistband
X figure women have a very narrow waist. A waistband in contrasting colors brings it to the fore. If you have a large bust, you can emphasize it with a balconette neckline and a brooch or make it look more subtle with a V-neck.
A high-necked and simple dirndl blouse is an elegant choice. Vertical patterns, such as embroidery on the bodice and flower tendrils on the apron, visually lengthen your body.
Tips for Wearing Dirndl on a Bulky Body
Style the dirndl in plus sizes with the right accessories, lingerie, and shoes. These are the basics that will make the traditional dress stand out. Tying the bow on the right side is also very important.
-
How to tie a dirndl bow correctly: If you are single, wear the bow on the left. If you have a partner, you wear it on the right.
-
Dirndl bra: The classic is a balconette bra in large sizes. The straps are on the outside, and the underwire provides support.
-
Traditional costume accessories: Jewellery with a heart or pretzel pendant and a shoulder bag with a deer motif go well with the dirndl.
-
Shoes for the XXL dirndl: Elegant pumps visually lengthen the legs, and ballerinas are the comfortable option.
-
Jackets for the dirndl: A fitted jacket looks traditional, but a cardigan in larger sizes is a good alternative.
-
Hairstyling: A high-braided hairstyle makes you look taller.
Dinner or Wedding: Wear Plus Size Dirndl Confidently
Dirndls are a real classic at the Oktoberfest. You can also wear them for dinner in a rustic country inn, at family celebrations, weddings, and barn parties. The traditional costume includes a dress, a dirndl blouse, and an apron. Choosing the right dirndl for curvy women is often not easy: This dress fits properly when it is very tight without cutting in. Just pay attention to these details because they improve the fit:
-
elastic inserts on the bodice,
-
bodices with laces or stretch content,
-
Dirndl blouses with flexible elastic at the sleeve hem.
