Trachten bodices: modern and traditional at the same time

A traditional bodice, also known as a bodice blouse, is a form-fitting garment that shapes the body. Its origins date back to the Renaissance in the 16th century. Since then, it has been used to enhance the beautiful silhouette of the female figure.

Traditional bodices for women are an essential part of many folk costumes and play a special role in Trachten fashion. They represent the perfect blend of tradition, cultural heritage, and fashion awareness while incorporating modern trends.

FAQ

What is the difference between a dirndl bodice and a traditional bodice?

A dirndl bodice is attached to or coordinated with the skirt of the dirndl. A traditional bodice, on the other hand, is a standalone garment that can be styled with skirts, trousers, or jeans – ideal for creating individual looks.

Which blouse should I wear under a traditional bodice?

Short-cut dirndl blouses or bodice blouses are best, as they don’t bulk up underneath. Depending on the occasion, you can choose between a high neckline, lace-trimmed neckline, or a heart-shaped neckline.

How tight should a traditional bodice fit?

A traditional bodice should fit close to the body but not feel restrictive. It can shape the waist and accentuate the neckline, yet still feel comfortable when worn with a blouse underneath. Bodices with lacing often allow more flexibility for adjustment.

Are traditional bodices available in plus sizes?

Yes, MOSER also offers a range of traditional bodices in larger sizes. Many designs are tailored to flatter curvier figures – for example, with side lacing or shaping seams.

Can I wear a bodice with modern outfits?

Absolutely! A simple traditional bodice paired with jeans, a blouse, and ankle boots creates a cool everyday look with alpine charm. Particularly popular are designs in muted colors or denim – blending tradition with modern style.
