What did you score?

MOSTLY A’s

Cute and classy

You are a traditionalist for the most part, and you love a good authentic costume. We think our Denim Beer Maid Costume is the one for you. The denim apron and white blouse combine red and white gingham for a classic Oktoberfest look. Corset lacing runs along the top of the bust, with elegant pearl beading. The waist bow ties off to one side creating a demure beer maid appeal. Gingham trim gives this costume a super cute finish. With your hair braided and steins in hand, no one will be able to talk you down at the Oktoberfest beer hall in this number.

MOSTLY B’s

Satin chic

You have a generous nature and are a social butterfly—you also have a bit of a wild side. This crop top and dress flaunt your best assets. It has a slightly burlesque feel with the red and black colour palette and lace-up bustier. This sexy pinafore set comes with a feathered hat that you wear to one side. Sweeter than a black forest gateau! Since you like to keep things fun and flirty, pack your party essentials in a beer stein purse.

MOSTLY C’s

Pretty in Pink

You live life to the fullest, and you see the beauty in everyone and everything. Our Oktoberfest Wench is pink and white Bavarian perfection, complete with a flower crown. Around Oktoberfest in Australia, the weather is warming up—ideal for wearing this peasant style dirndl where the skirt is on the shorter side and has a shoulder bearing top. The dress has a floral embellishment on the waist and also comes with a choker neckpiece.

MOSTLY D’s

Pretty in Pink

You appreciate the finer things in life and love a little decadence (or a lot!). When dressing up in costume, you embrace the ‘sexy’ theme wholeheartedly. We recommend our Beer Stein Beauties Oktoberfest Costume. With a ravishing red skirt complete with apron and lace trim detail, you will be in hot demand this Oktoberfest. The white blouse is off the shoulder to reveal a bit of skin. Finish the look with some white thigh-high stockings and a mini hat with feathers.

Fun fact on the pinafore tie

In Bavarian tradition, the Oktoberfest trachts are full of cultural references. Back in the day, women tied their pinafore's according to their relationship status. Probably a little awkward in 2018, so this is purely some fun fact-sharing information: Right = In a relationship. Left = Single.
