Your personalised dirndl apron is handmade to order in your choice of fabric. The fabric is printed with eco-friendly inks, bonding your design deep into the fibres for a full-colour, vibrant finish. Your printed fabric is then cut to size before the metre long white satin ribbon is hand-stitched to complete your dirndl apron.
When using our simple online design tool you will notice a red dotted area around the edges of your dirndl apron; this is the trim area which makes up the hem. It is important to make sure that this area isn't left plain (unless of course your design intentionally leaves the edges white) but also that no important parts of your design occupy that area. As all of our hemming is done by hand, we can't say that the seams will take up exactly all of that space, and while we don't want to leave gaps in your design, we also don't want to cut off an important part of your images.
If you're not sure which fabric to go with for your custom made German dirndl aprons, try matching it to the rest of your dirndl or Landhausmode. This could be in the small details such as the buttons or embroidery, or in the larger pieces; for example if you have a satin blouse. If your design has a high level of fine detail you may find the Monroe Satin a great option, or if you are looking for a lighter summery design then try the Panama Flo.
