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!

I had the BEST time shopping for my new dirndls here for myself and my daughter. The lady who…read morehelped us was fantastic. She helped me pick out the perfect dress for my daughter and then again for myself. And she knew just by looking at me what size I wore!! Impressive. Next time I'm in Garmisch, I may have to get another! Vielen dank!

Refused to let me try on or purchase a dress 30 minutes before they closed. Ridiculous.read more

Gorgeous trachten and accessories shop in town. It's run by a couple of ladies that speak a bit of…read moreEnglish and very helpful. Their selection is not huge but they do have lots of different prices ranges from cheap to expensive. They have two levels of stuff and whilst the shop looks tiny from the outside, there is a fair bit of stuff inside. The selection of lederhosen and dirndl was good and the prices were also reasonable. It's a little bit away from the center of town and whilst there are other shops in the town center, the location meant better prices. We ended up buying some things and ended up getting a further reduction due to long weekend sale. Not a bad place to get traditional wear in Garmisch.

This stuff is very well made. The service was also great. I was only buying a hat, but I received help with my selection and sizing and left very happy. It looked like they also do custom apparel.

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
