Full details on sizes, prices and how it works below the collection.
Dirndl rental in Munich, from a showroom you can walk into: Dresscoded rents over one hundred designer dirndl dresses from 60 to 260 euros, for four or eight days, professional cleaning included. You reserve online before your trip, try on and pick up after you arrive, and return the dress before you fly home. No suitcase space, no washing, no wondering what to do with a dirndl you will wear once. That is the whole idea behind dirndl dress rental: you have the dress for the days you need it, and nothing after that.
Is it worth renting a dress for a single event rather than buying one? For a dirndl, the arithmetic is unusually clear. A designer dirndl from a Bavarian label sells for 400 to 1,000 euros, and most visitors wear it on two or three days of one trip. Renting the same dress costs 60 to 260 euros, cleaning included, and the dress goes back when you leave. You also skip the two hidden costs nobody mentions: the space it takes in your luggage, and the dry-cleaning bill after a day in a beer tent. Buying makes sense if you come back to Bavaria every year. For one Oktoberfest, one wedding or one Volksfest, renting is the better deal — and it lets you wear a far better dress than you would buy.
A dirndl is the traditional Bavarian dress, and it comes in four parts: a fitted bodice, a full skirt, a blouse worn underneath, and an apron tied over the skirt. The bodice does the work — it is tailored and structured, closer to a corset than to a sundress. The blouse is short, ending under the bust, and is chosen separately to match the neckline. Skirt length in Munich is usually just below the knee.
Locals can spot a souvenir-shop costume across a beer tent: thin fabric, printed patterns, a bodice that does not hold its shape. Our collection is the opposite — designer tracht from Bavarian labels such as Alpenherz, Astrid Söll, Krüger and Ena, made of linen, cotton, velvet and silk, the same dresses Munich women wear themselves. Tracht rental in Munich at this level costs a fraction of what the dresses sell for — and it is the difference between looking like a visitor in costume and looking like you belong there.
Our dirndl dresses run in German sizes 32 to 44 — roughly US 2 to 14 and UK 6 to 18. As a quick guide, German 36 is about UK 10 and US 6, German 38 is UK 12 and US 8. Because the bodice is fitted, the number matters less than how it closes: snug, but without pulling. If you are between sizes, the fitting at the showroom settles it in minutes — you try several sizes side by side, and our stylists adjust blouse and apron to match.
Renting a dirndl in Munich as a visitor works in four steps. Reserve your dress online before you travel — during Oktoberfest the popular sizes go first, so book from mid-August. After you arrive, come to the showroom, try on, and take the dirndl with you — or have it delivered to your hotel. Wear it. When your celebration is over, drop the dress off before you leave Munich or send it back with the prepaid return label. You return it uncleaned; cleaning is part of the rental price. Nothing has to fit in your suitcase on the way home.
The showroom is in the Sturm Plaza building at Karl-Weinmair-Straße 6, 80807 Munich. Take the U3 or U6 to Münchner Freiheit, then tram 23 towards Schwabing Nord to the Anni-Albers-Straße stop — the showroom is three minutes from there. Appointments are free and non-binding, Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 6:30 pm and Saturdays 10 am to 6 pm. We speak English. Dresscoded has been renting in Munich since 2012 and holds 4.7 stars from 293 Google reviews. The showroom is about 20 minutes from the Theresienwiese by U-Bahn, so you can collect your dirndl and be at the Oktoberfest grounds the same afternoon. Plan about an hour if you want to put together the complete outfit with blouse, apron and jewellery.
Arrived in Munich and still have nothing to wear? That is the most common way people find us. Because everything is in stock in Schwabing rather than in a warehouse, you can walk in on an appointment, be fitted, and leave with the complete outfit the same day — blouse, apron and jewellery included. Even during Oktoberfest there is usually something in your size; what narrows is the choice, not the availability. Call +49 89 921313410 or book an appointment online, and come the same afternoon if you need to.
Oktoberfest 2026 runs from 19 September to 4 October, and two things change during those weeks. First, demand: sizes 36 and 38 — US 6 and 8 — are gone first, so reserve as early as you can. Second, spare sizes: outside Oktoberfest we ship a free second size with every order, but during the festival tracht is fitted in person at the showroom instead. For visitors this is no loss — the fitting is exactly what you want anyway. A complete Oktoberfest outfit, dirndl and blouse together, starts at around 85 euros for the four-day rental.
The blouse is rented separately from 25 euros, because it has to match the neckline of your dirndl. The apron comes with the dress — and where you tie its bow is the detail every visitor asks about: bow on your right means taken, on your left means single, and at the back is reserved for widows and waitresses. Locals really do read it, so tie with intent. One more convention worth knowing: at a Bavarian wedding, leave white to the bride — green, blue and black are the safe guest colours.
Rental prices run from 60 euros for cotton dirndls by Ena to around 260 euros for velvet and silk couture by Alpenherz and Astrid Söll, always for four or eight days. There is no deposit. Cleaning, the return label and small signs of wear are included — beer tents are part of the plan. Blouses from 25 euros, the Kropfkette choker and hair accessories can be rented to match.
We rent men's tracht from the same showroom: lederhosen in brown, grey and black by Krüger, from 90 euros for four days, with traditional shirts, waistcoats, Janker jackets, socks and shoes to complete the look. Renting lederhosen in Munich follows exactly the same rules as the dirndl: reserve online, try on at the showroom, wear it, return it uncleaned. Real leather softens and shapes to the wearer, which is why a rented pair that has been worn before fits better than a stiff new one off the shelf. Couples and groups are fitted in one visit — hen parties, company Wiesn outings, friends travelling together. Please tell us the group size in advance so enough fitting rooms are free.
Reserve online, call +49 89 921313410 or write to service@dresscoded.com to arrange a fitting. Appointments are free, take about an hour for a complete outfit, and we speak English. During Oktoberfest, book at least a week ahead if you can — and if you are already in Munich and need something today, call anyway.
