SKIRT FOR THE ’40’S SWING DRESS THAT WAS REFASHIONED

SKIRT FOR THE '40'S SWING DRESS THAT WAS REFASHIONED

Photo # 2 -The colors are truer in the photo of the blouse, You can see how this skirt would swing, sway and billow during a dance. You ain’t got a thing if you ain’t got that swing.

FABULOUS FIND! TRUE VINTAGE FORTIES FROCK WITH PHENOMENAL FABRIC GOT REFURBISHED

This blouse was a dress – the skirt is shown in the next post. (Wish I could figure out how to publish multiple photos!)
It actually came to me as a gift!

There was a bit of seam damage and the waist was too small, so I turned it into a circle skirt and blouse.The greatest thing about this dress is the fabric.

Substantial woven rayon with a paisley design and metallic thread accents. I certainly couldn’t toss it aside! Just made for the jitterbug.

I love the style, but the material is what makes it really special. That’s true with almost all of the true vintage that I own. It’s a study in itself, and a feast for the senses. I hope you’ll be able to get a close-up view.
