Swabian marriage custom?

Here's the first picture I've scanned from the 15 rolls of film I shot during my recent trip to Southern Germany:

Stuttgart bachelorette

The sign on her back reads: Rettet mich! Ich heirate

That translates to something like: Save me! I'm getting married.

Also notice that what the woman is wearing looks like it might be an attempt at a traditional costume. (Could someone with knowledge of Swabian customs confirm this?)

This picture was taken as I was strolling through the 27th annual Weindorf. It was the opening night of the Stuttgart wine festival, that features regional whites and reds.
