Volendam dress long ladies

The long Volendam dress for women is a long black dress with a blue-and-white striped skirt, a high striped collar, and a separate black apron. A red-and-white trim with windmills runs around the bodice and over the apron, and the sleeves end in red cuffs. You can wear this traditional Dutch costume look on King’s Day, at a Dutch-themed evening, or during Carnival.

What you get with the Volendam dress

• The set consists of the long dress and a separate apron.
• The dress is made of 100% polyester.
• Available in women’s sizes XS through XXL.
• Black with blue-and-white stripes on the skirt, collar, and apron band, and red accents on the cuffs.
• Wash at 30 degrees; do not bleach, dry clean, tumble dry, or iron.

How does this Volendam dress differ from a regular peasant dress?

The difference lies in the bodice and the stripes: on this dress, the blue-and-white striped fabric continues from the stand-up collar down into the skirt, finished with a red-and-white windmill trim. A peasant dress usually has a separate blouse and a checkered pattern, while here the upper part with the collar is attached to the dress. The Volendam costume is therefore recognizable by its high collar and pointed lace cap, which are characteristic of the village’s image. If you are looking for the traditional costume look of the fishing village, this model is the straightforward choice.

Accessories for the Volendam look

A white lace cap completes the silhouette, as it is precisely this cap that makes the look recognizable from a distance. Yellow clogs under the long skirt and a Delft Blue necklace or earrings complement the blue-and-white stripes. Keep the face paint subtle: red lipstick and pinned-up or curled hair suit the traditional look. An orange sash or ribbon makes the dress perfect for King’s Day.
