Oktoberfest Dresses (Dirndls)

For personalised and handmade German Oktoberfest dresses, contact G Hughs & Son, we're already accepting commissions for next years Oktoberfest.
G Hughs and son offer a wide range of Dirndls and Octoberfest dresses, from entirely bespoke custom pieces, to 'off the peg' dresses, and everything in between, our dresses are available in many different fabrics and colours.

With Oktoberfest events already scheduled in York, Leeds, Harrogate, and Skipton, we advise customers to contact us now to avoid disappointment! 
Traditional German Dirndls have a long history spanning centuries, and many regional varieties, having originated in the Swiss and Tyrolean regions of Southern Germany. With the increasing popularity of Octoberfests both across Germany and around the world, these distinctive Bavarian folk dresses (sometimes referred to as tracht) are instantly recognisable and identified with Beer, Pretzels, Oompah Bands, and celebrating all things Alpine.
