Fellow German Lolita here, I feel you. I get the asked if I wear a Dirndl all the time too - I don't get it when other Germans ask me that, because I live hundreds of kilometers away from Baveria and no one here wears Dirndls, and we don't have the Oktoberfest here. I get these questions a lot from tourists too though, and I think there are now dozens of pictures from me taken by various tourists that are uploaded on fb or shown to their family: "Look, a German in a Dirndl!!"
I get the "Is it fashing yet?!"-comment a lot though.

If people don't think I wear a Dirndl, they sometimes think I am some kind of strange foreigner wearing traditional clothes from whatever country(I don't look very German). I have been mistaken for all kinds of nationalities, from Spain to Italy to Russia/Polish (the most common), and people often start to talk to me in English.

Other than that I agree, it's pretty chill. Didn't have any really bad experience, and after reading various horror story threads I am glad people here stick to staring, because at least they leave me alone.
