Traditional costume in Western Styria
| The southern Gleinalm region of Western Styria is home to a form of traditional costume which, unlike many other dirndl types, has a stand-up collar rather than a low-cut neckline. In addition to the collar, another characteristic feature of this style is the cotton fabric, pattered in small red and white or blue and white checks, which is used for the bodice. The skirt contrasts with the bodice and is made of blue and white, red and white or red and black striped or dotted fabric. The dirndl is worn with a plain blue apron.
In Deutschlandsberg and many other areas, however, a corseted bodice with particularly elaborate topstitching is worn. The bodice is blue, with a pink and white striped skirt and a blue apron. A flat straw hat is worn with this dirndl on hot summer days.
