My husband and I are going to Oktoberfest in late September. I want a real dirndl and he wants a lederhosen.

We want to buy. We do not want to rent.

Do we need to make an appointment at a shop to try on and buy?

We are going with friends who have told us we need to make an appointment and that it won't be easy to just walk into a shop and buy one. But I think they are confusing the ease of buying to renting - what I am reading online is that you need an appointment if you want to RENT an outfit. Not buy.

We go to several Oktoberfest celebrations annually in the USA so we would love an authentic outfit to wear when we come back!

Thanks
