If you're in Oberammergau and are in the market for lederhosen or a dirndl (and who isn't?)…read moreTrachten-Werner is your place. They have several locations in Southern Bavaria (here, Fussen, Mittenwald and Bad Worishofen) and are kind of a department store for traditional clothing. Everything is here - kids, women and men's sections and a huge selection of styles, sizes and price points. For men they have a "complete suit" special which includes lederhosen, shoes, socks and a shirt for €199. Women's clothing ranges from high end handmade to much more reasonable (but still good quality). You won't find cheap costume skank-dirndls in leopard print for €30 here - but you will find something to make you look gorgeous for the next Oktoberfest! We scored a great embroidered shirt for the Mister (on sale!) and a pretty necklace for me. Great store!

Hearing our travel plans included a stop in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , my Mother In Law told us the…read morebest fashion house for Dirndls was Grasegger & she was spot on This place reminds me of the American store Talbot's - the clothing is extremely conservative & traditional Lots of button-down shirts & cardigans. You can also find khakis & trousers but where this place really stands out is w/ their Dirndls Taking fabrics that range from gingham cotton to shiny silks w/ inlaid beading, you will find off-the-rack dirndls as well as an entire wall of fabric bolts, in case you're looking to get 1 custom made Knowing we were just there for the afternoon & did not have the luxury of getting something custom, we made a beeline for the racks. Knee-length & full-length styles are available. I tried on both & decided on a shorter version in a fancy red & green patterned silk - after all, gotta support my German-by-marriage heritage! Mother In Law was thrilled I chose to get a dirndl & even more thrilled we purchased from her favorite store...and making my Mother In Law happy makes me happy Parting thought: Be prepared for some hefty sticker shock - you *will* be forking over a very pretty penny... these are not fancy-dress costumes! They are serious high-end fashions for the traditional Bavarian woman. Sure you can find cheaper but you get what you pay for & if you're looking for haute couture, the only place to shop is here

She helped me decide on exactly what I wanted to purchase for my souvenir from our Bavarian trip (photo). What a great customer service!!

I had called my credit card company prior to going to Europe to let them know so my card could be used with no trouble......well, someone at the credit card company failed me! My card was rejected! I could not reach the credit card company on my cell phone. The lovely woman at the shop called for me on the store phone and assisted me with all the information the credit card company needed! I felt terrible as I was holding up the line, but the women did not make me feel rushed. The worked with me until a solution was reached and I was able to make my purchase! I would recommend stopping by this shop if you are ever in Oberammergau!! Kathleen Purcell
