Help Identify German-origin Dress (No 2)

[caitrock]

This dress has a plastic front zipper which reads "OPTI" on the back of the pull-tab. It is clearly a dirndl-style bodice. Raw edges are surged. The inner lining and hem appear to be linen. The skirt has front and back pleats. I do not have a blouse with it. The interior of the arm holes and collar appear to have bias tape facing.

The tag reads "Wachter" and has a depiction of a large red bird with prominently spread wings, and a crown on it's head.

This looks like some of the German Trachten clothing - traditional /national style. With a plastic zipper, it is most likely no older than the 1960s. If you do a Google search for Trachten Wachter, there are several sites. But they are all in German!

Yes, this too is a piece of traditional style dress or a dirndl, from Bavaria. This one would be worn with a white blouse underneath. Again, measurements might help in dating this.

Everything screams 1960s about this dress. The fabric and the label. It has to be worn with a special white cotton blouse and an apron, both which are missing here.
