The bodice can be brightly colored or patterned, and is often ornate.
The dirndl fashion is most consistently associated with rural, traditional, often conservative dress. Maybe the Republican Party can encourage the style as appealing to the modern outlook. However, it is also commonly adopted by waitresses in bierhauses. This might be a perfect choice of ensemble to wear for a job interview in certain settings.
Unfortunately, urban North Carolina does not provide much of a setting for the wearing of a dirndl dress; and if I were to wear one, people might expect me to serve them a mug of beer or sing Edelweiss.

Perhaps the dirndl dress isn't the fashion statement that you want to make. But you are welcome to bring me a beer anytime (bring one for yourself, too) and sing for me! You can wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing.
i'll pass on 1) the apron-style and 2) a dress. period.
Is she singing 'The Sound of Music'?
I think it's a nice looking dress.
Wonder what gave you the idea of this post?
My wife has a formal dirndl which is quite beautiful, and has a degree of decollete which is far from tacky. One question: after a certain age, would a lady wear oma panties under a dirndl?
I've always loved those dresses.
Tara wears one when she sings to Willow.
If I were skinny again I'd so want to wear a dress like that :)
Mark -- I just love the cheerful whimsey of the style.
Bilbo -- Oma panties are always correct.
John Hill -- What sort of beer?
I like a strong IPA or an occasional stout. How about you? Perhaps an unfiltered wheat ale?
