apparently in a lot of heads sticking to traditions and being all for equality in every department doesn't go together well and I feel the urge to make a hella gay dirndl according to our local traditional cuts of dress just to make a statement.

Being inclusive does not mean you need to throw away your traditions.

#I've always wanted a dirndl #but not like the ones that are stereotypically associated with the oktoberfest #those are sexualized to be a tourist attraction and a gimmick and the fabric is usually shite #I mean a proper one with a shoulder scraf and emroidery #buying one is really expensive tho and I've always wanted to learn how to sew properly #where as catholics have bright colours #our local colours are very dark tho bc in germany protestant communities usually have dark traditional dress #but I could probably make it work somehow if I put my mind to it enough #I heard that a local folk dance group turned away a trans girl as a dancer because they can't get her a dirndl in her size #and because “she's too tall to dance with the boys” :/#now I want to make pretty dresses for my two trans fem guild mates from ff #they always complain to me about never finding cute clothes that fit them and I know the traditional dresses from their region are so prett #making stuff for my friends is my lovelanguage in case you couldn't tell lul
