Dating a Drindl Dress

    Does anyone know much about drindls? I have a modern one (lived in Germany for three years) but that's all the experience I have! Aside from having that "vintage" smell (and the fact that it needs a good wash), this one feels as though it could be from the 70s. There is a care symbol label, but my research shows that clothing in Germany had these symbols during the 70s. I have many British 70s dresses with similar care symbols. I could be totally wrong but it just doesn't feel that new and it would be great to get opinions. Thanks :)

    Me too. I know nothing about dirndls but the iron symbol on your care tag is an older type.

    Agree. Dirndls are hard to date, but the label looks fine for me for 1970s from Germany. I've had a few items with similar labels.
