Julia Trentini Debbie Dirndl, Black — 80cm Maxi

The Debbie is a velvet dirndl, and that's what makes it. A traditional cut given a modern edge by the contrast between a plain velvet bodice and a patterned skirt.

The apron is kept plain too, lifted by contrast braid at the hem — so the whole thing reads rich rather than busy. A high-necked lace blouse with three-quarter sleeves finishes the modern look properly.

THE TRENTINI BUILD

Stabilising boning at the centre front holds the shape. Generous seam allowances at the sides, centre and waist mean it can be altered and re-altered — built to last years, not a season. Double-stitched seams, ruffles worked by hand.

Fit note: a dirndl should sit skin-tight. Blouse and accessories not included.
