Scarlet DarknessOktoberfest Costumes for Women 3 Pcs Bavarian Dirndl Dresses

Nicely constructed and very pretty. I have sewn for over 40 years and was thrilled to find a garment with such well-made construction. Thankful I didn't have to make it myself for a change. Will wear this every year to our local Oktoberfest events. Received many compliments.

I bought this dress to wear at a popular local Oktoberfest celebration, in Mount Angel, Oregon, and also wore it at an Oktoberfest-themed dance at the resort I was staying at the same weekend. I got lots of complements on how great it looked, including several from other women at the celebration who were wearing equally nice Bavarian style dresses. At the dance, I won the costume contest!The cloth and construction are on a par with daily wear clothing. Certainly not just cheap costume wear! So definitely a good investment, in a garment I can expect to re-use many times. Add thigh high stockings, a floral hair decoration, and black Mary Jane shoes, and a ruffled petticoat to hold the skirt out a bit, and you're all set!Negative points:As others mentioned, even if you follow their size guide, it does run small. I have a 44" bust (38C) and a 35" waist, and the 2XL size just barely fit in the waist, and was snug at the bust. There's no way the dress would have fit a woman with a 39-40.5" waist, or a bust larger than 45". Likewise, the crop top blouse was only barely big enough for me to get it on and off. Everything looked spectacular on me once I got it on, but if I was any larger at all, I would have had to return it for a 3XL. The dress has a side zipper on the left side, which was probably easier to use than a back zipper would have been on such a tight-fitted bodice. But zipping it was awkward, and the zipper got stuck at the narrowest point of the waist, and was difficult to move part that point, going either up or down. Not because the waist was tight, though. It sticks there even when I'm not wearing it!I bought two of these (also got it in blue), and both dresses and blouses had identical problematic points. Still, if the fit was closer to their size guide, and the zipper worked smoothly, I would have rated it at 5 stars. Gave it four, because of the problems noted.

I was not sure how the material would feel since it was a good price. It's really for qulaity got the price and fit well. I am 5'4" and 250lbs for reference. I clearly enjoyed my evening as you can tell from the picture!

I loved this dress! It was perfect and totally functional for work at a pub on Oktoberfest. Fit true to size, very comfortable, and the colors are very nice.

I am not a huge fan of wearing dresses but this one is right up my alley. It fits well, I love that it doesn’t feel like a costume (because it really isn’t), and I had surprisingly no issues getting into it by myself. I love culturally significant clothing and I’m so happy to add this to my collection. The white undershirt that comes with it is a completely standalone piece, as well as the green apron.

I sized way up and the white piece was still too small. Otherwise it was perfect

The product is beautiful and fits snug on the chest area. I’m 200 with a small chest. I got an xl and it fit perfect. If I gain anymore weight before my party, it would not fit since there is no give at all to it. Otherwise, perfect for the party!

Do not buy this for Octoberfest and wear it in Germany. You will regret it. Only suitable for Halloween. Very poor quality.
