Vintage 1950s Circle Skirt Paisley Cotton 31” Waist

This is a very attractive 1950s circle skirt printed with a paisley pattern on cotton.  This 1950s circle skirt is made with a quality cotton, and the pattern is in white and black against three broad coloured bands - green, blue and magenta.  This is a true 1950s circle skirt - note the hemline measurements given below - and so falls in drapes.  The skirt closes with a nylon zipper and a button at the waist - I would have expected a metal zipper, but this could be a replacement, or the skirt could date to the early 60s when nylon zippers came into use.  Please note that the skirt was posed with a crinoline, but no crinoline is provided - to get the same full support circle look, you would need to own a crinoline of your own and you could get a fuller look by using a more layered crinoline than I used.

Age: 1950s

Label: None

Sizing:  No size is indicated, but this 1950s circle skirt should fit a medium to large size (31” waist) - please note the following measurements for fit, taking the style of the garment into consideration:

Hemline:  248” around - a true circle cut

Condition:  This 1950s circle skirt is in very good condition with no wear, tear, staining or odour.  This piece looks to have seen very little use and has been well kept over the last 60 or so years. 

This is a very nice quality 1950s circle skirt - attractive pattern and colours!
