Young women in traditional Bavarian dirndls drink beer during Munich's 180th Oktoberfest
Young women in traditional Bavarian dirndls drink beer during Munich's 180th Oktoberfest October 3, 2013. A decade ago, waitresses at Oktoberfest were the only ones in dirndls, the Bavarian peasant-inspired, corseted dresses featuring white blouses and coloured aprons, and trendy Berliners wouldn't dream of dancing to oompah music in public. Now, Munich's annual beer festival is a sea of traditionally-clad tourists, with revellers from as far away as Canada, Mexico and Iran donning dirndls or the equivalent outfits for men - lederhosen and checked shirts.
