Preparations for the beautification of the dirndl

Basically, of course, what you like is allowed. Nevertheless, there are a few things that you should consider when embellishing your dirndl with a chain lacing.

  1. Look at your dirndl and think about how many decorative eyelets you want to use for your chain lacing. Classically, 6 are used, so that three decorative eyelets are arranged one below the other on the dirndl. Of course, you can also use 8 or 10 decorative eyelets.
  2. Select the matching decorative eyelets. If, for example, you have floral patterns on your dirndl, it is particularly nice to use decorative eyelets with similar shapes. In addition, the size should be right. Decorative eyelets for a girl's dirndl should of course be much smaller than those for a woman's dirndl.
  3. Now determine the approximate length of the chain for your chain lacing. Measure the horizontal distance with which you want to attach the eyelets to the dirndl.
  4. Now add one to the number of eyelets and multiply the result by the horizontal distance between the eyelets.
