Hi Lily! I found this blog a few months ago and also started looking into Dirndl Revue to make my own! I came back today in search of a size chart/Masstabelle for the magazine. I’ve been in contact with a rep from Stapf Textil (the publisher of Dirndl Revue) and she said she can ship to the US. I emailed stapftextilmst@aon.at, and she’ll be getting me a special invoice soon. Note that all issues go up to size 48, some go up to size 50, and I’ve only found one that says on the cover that it goes up to a 52. As a plus size lady, I’m also asking her for advice on which issues to buy. I hope this helps!

Those sites may have changed their ship-to countries in recent times. I ordered mainly in 2018 and 2019, so with the craziness since 2020 they may have dropped international (outside EU) shipping. My last order of Dirndl Revues I sent to a friend in Italy who then mailed them onto me. So, if you have a friend in Europe willing to accept a package for you and are ok with double shipping then that’s a good way to go. If you haven’t, send those companies an email to double check. I know with Laura und Ben I initially did that. They may have options for you not shown on their website.

Yes! I saw that recently. I’m curious as to how it’s graded up to those large sizes. A new one to test!

Hi Betsy. No, dirndl skirts are cut on-grain. Although, I have seen some cut as circle skirts where the side seams would then be on the bias (naturally). But most are cut on grain/with selvedge or on the cross grain as for an embroidered or border hem.
