Women and girls traditionally wear it in Bavaria (south-eastern Germany), Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and the Alpine regions of Italy. A dirndl consists of a close-fitting bodice featuring a low neckline, a blouse worn under the bodice, a wide high-waisted skirt, and an apron.<\/dir>The dirndl is regarded as a folk costume (in German Tracht). It developed as the clothing of Alpine peasants between the 16th and 18th centuries. Today it is generally considered the traditional dress for women and girls in the Alps and has particular designs associated with different regions. The usual masculine tracht counterpart of the dirndl is Lederhosen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-57045\"
