Cool polished cotton ensemble from the early 1950s. The fabric is a beautiful aqua cotton with polished satin finish. The set consists of a cropped bolero jacket open in front and full circle skirt. It is pictured with a petticoat beneath which is not included. If you do not have a petticoat and are looking for one there are plenty online if you just do a quick search. The older ones are harder to find but there are many sources for new. Bridal wear sites are a good place to look. The skirt is lightly detailed with three soutache embroidered flowers connected by flowing swirls. There are silver bead studs in the center of each flower. It has the original self fabric belt. I do not know the maker as the label has been removed. This outfit would likely have been worn with a crisp white cotton blouse or snug little sweater. I can also see it with a white crossover halter top. It zips on the side with a metal zipper and closes at the waist with plastic pearl ball buttons. It was never worn and the size is generous around a modern 10-12 with the following measurements. Skirt Waist 33" Skirt length 28" Bolero free size Excellent Condition $120.00

Long A-line shape with fitted waist. Team it up with any number of tops. Try a skinny sweater or bolero jacket. For a dressy look wear it with a halter top or sleeveless shell.

#5115 Click for enlarged views	Breathtaking hand print wrap skirt from the 1960s-70s. The fabric was hand silk screened on cotton twill and created in St. Lucia by a small company called The Bagshaws. I believe they are still in operation. It has the blue and white signature label with double seahorse logo and The Bagshaws of St. Lucia W. I. The modern patterns are often floral but the vintage motifs seem more artistic. This one features an ornate Etruscan-inspired pattern with mythical mirror image birds. The colors are lavender and navy on a pink background. The skirt a tie wrap with deep side vent. Most wrap skirts are flexible in size but this one has less leeway. There is a back under panel in pink that will peek out if it is on a larger frame. It says small and will work best on some one with the following range of measurements. Waist 24"-26" Hips 34"-37" The length is 39" Excellent Condition $95.00

The romance associated with the look of the Southwest which blends both Native American and European American elements will forever be a part of American Fashion.

The skirt is gathered at the waist and VERY full at the hem. It closes on the side with a button and snaps. Traditionally these skirts were not ironed but rather after washing they were squeezed together and tied with string to dry. This created a pleated effect.

Dusty rose, wool flannel skirt from the late 1940s. This was just after the war and restrictions on yardage for clothing had been lifted. As a result hemlines dropped and flared out but the full circle skirt had not fully come into vogue. Often the skirts from this era featured interesting twists in design as well. This one, instead of putting the kick pleat in back has it in front. The cut is straight with a slight A-line. There is a side metal zipper and no pockets. The size is small with a 25" waistline and 36" hips the length is 30" from waist to hem. This skirt has no label but came with the next three which are all from Peck and Peck. It was most likely custom made. Excellent Condition $60.00

The MOST fun skirt I just fell in love with this skirt when I first saw it! I'm sure the original owner was the absolute ENVY of all the other girls!What a cutie! It is a full circle skirt from those 1950s Bobby Sox days. The material is a crazy patchwork of different black and white cotton prints. This has then been machine quilted in a small windowpane pattern. The waistband is black grossgrain ribbon and it has a side metal zipper. Since it is a true full circle this skirt really swings with movement. The label inside reads Loomtogs. It is med/small in size with a 26 1/2" waist. It measures 28" long. Excellent Condition $150.00

Printed cotton, full pleated skirt from Post War 1940s. The fabric is lovely, a soft fine cotton with a beautiful Batik-like print in olive and pale sage. The pleating is nice with a flat pleat panel front and back and small tucks on the sides. It closes down the side with pearl buttons and three more buttons at the waist. The label in the waistband's a bit frayed but I think it reads SKIRTWEAR by Ernest Donath. I'm thinking cashmere and penny loafers would work well with this one yes? The size is quite small with a 24" waist. The length is 25". Excellent Condition $60.00
