- The traditional costume for women is wearing of Dirndl (traditional Bavarian dress with an apron), Dirndl blouse (peasant blouse that can either be ultra-conservative or downright daring, depending on your mood), a bodice and an apron (the most integral part of the dirndl - the pattern represents the region where the person is from).

- The dirndl apron’s knots say a lot about the woman wearing it.
- When a knot is tied on the woman's left side, this indicates that she is single.
- When a knot is tied on the right, it means that she is taken, either married or engaged.
- When a knot is tied in the front this means that she is a virgin.
- When a knot is tied at the back this shows that the woman is widowed.
