Vintage skirt
I saw this skirt featured in a Wall Street Journal story about luxe vintage fashions in today's (January 7th) Wall Street Journal. Now this is what I call a skirt, lots of soft pleats and I bet it would be sensual to walk around in. Now if it just didn't cost US$1.575 and have a 26" waist measure.

Re: Vintage skirt
Oh my. That is a beauty! But at 45" long even I'd have to wear heels to keep the hem off the deck, not to mention the 26" waist measurement is about a foot too small.
Who could actually wear such a thing? The geometry boggles the imagination. (However, I imagine the effect would be electrifying.)

Re: Vintage skirt
Even if worn at the Empire Waist and with heels the proportions would be way out of "A"linement.
Something about a lot of dress (skirt) and then a whole lot more of a skirt followed by a skirt made by Omar the tent maker !

"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

Re: Vintage skirt
Good heavens, I didn't notice the stated length. I wonder if it is an error, I have a couple of 36" skirts that reach my ankles when worn with the waistband between my navel and pelvis bone. You've got to watch them when ascending stairs.crfriend wrote:Oh my. That is a beauty!

Re: Vintage skirt
At 45" it has to be worn up at my armpits as a sleeveless dress, but the top would have to be about 8" wider.
