1950s Turquoise Box Pleat Floral Print Skirt

About the Item

This is the most darling original vintage 1950s floral cotton box pleated skirt. In a vivid turquoise blue base colour which is set off with a striking floral pattern that has several size versions combining in various forms to provide a graduated look from the waistband to the hem. The floral sprays are comprised of yellow, pink & violet flowers with green sprigs surrounding them. Towards the hemline these flowers become more distinctive such that we would say they resemble anemones, violets & forget-me-nots. The skirt has a classic circular A-Line shape which lends itself to creating a wonderful full silhouette when worn complimented by the neat box pleats. Unlabelled and most likely made by a skilled dressmaker, the skirt is in excellent vintage condition with no faults to note. The colours remain vibrant for the most part with very minor age appropriate wash fading though this is not noticeable when worn. The box pleats are crisp and neat. The skirt fastens to the rear with its original zip as well as a hook & eye. We think this will best fit a UK 6-8, US 2-4 on account of the small waist. MEASUREMENTS Waist - 24 in.

    This is such a great piece of 1970s original vintage. A candy stripe cotton is embellished with black velvet bands to give this fun skirt extra oomph. The stripes alternate from horizontal to vertical from the waistband to the hem. A well positioned horizontal striped panel sits across the hips with a slimming vertical band leading down to below the knee point. Here the skirt has a band of horizontal stripes that lend the dress a super flattering silhouette. The knee seam then feeds into a puckered vertical long hem with a lovely deep flounce. The stripes are in all shades from red to pink, blue to green, yellow to white. The label reads Jupe International - jupe is French for skirt!
