I've been looking around for a while for a good (and affordable) 40's skirt, but to no avail. The only nice one I could afford was too small. (My 27 inch waist is never going to be 24 inches!) So, etsy to the rescue. This arrived yesterday.

ReplyDeleteI am researching a client's life history as part of my work in a residential care home, my lady used to work for style fashions when she was in her 20's, i am going to pinch your pics to include in her file, she will be so thrilled to see the old patterns again, she may have even made yours!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the skirt, i will certainly tell her that there is a lady still ordering items from her old factory even today, she is 94
