The feminine counterpart of the leather trousers - the *Dirndl* - is commemorated with this brand new souvenir sheet issued by Austria Post. Thestamp is an embroidered silhouette, and the colours are typical for the traditional female national costume. After a number of years where you hardly saw any national dresses in Austria, it has now become more modern to wear the national costumes especially at Austria's festive events for instance during the many summer festivals.
