I think I might just make this skirt in tweed. I love the cut and style of it. I will let you know how it turns out once it's done :o)
I just love the 1953 picture of the skirt, i wish I had a waist like the one on it. Thank you for sharing.
Suna we would love to see the skirt!
But perhaps I should post some photos of the girdles they had to wear in 1953 to achieve that kind of waist :-)...just as a warning.
I think I shall make that skirt - I like vintage patterns :) Now to go see if I have something suitable in the fabric stash...
Thankyou for posting these interesting bits and pieces for us :)
I really would like to post a photo (or a link) to any projects anyone makes with these vintage instructions.
