The '''Swedish Dirndl and Kerchief''' were introduced to [[Kirsten's Collection]] in '''1989''' and [[Retirement|retired]] in '''2002'''. Retail cost was ''$22''.<br />
<br />
The outfit is associated with ''[[Meet Kirsten]]''; she wears it for the majority of the story, only changing into her [[Kirsten Larson (doll)#Meet Outfit|meet outfit]] after she arrives on the farm in Minnesota. <br />
<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* While called a dirndl by American Girl, this is a German word and was unlikely to be used by Swedish people; the Swedish term for the outfit style would have likely been what is now called ''folkdräkt'' or distinctly rural folkdress. <br />
* While not included in the set, Kirsten is shown wearing the outfit with a plain apron over the skirt and occasionally a red shawl; she is not drawn with the headscarf. <br />
