MARKET SCENES Vintage 1950s Embroidered MEXICAN CIRCLE SKIRT 27

Description

This killer vintage 50's full circle skirt is made of rayon linen & has a back metal zipper and hook & eye closure.

All around the skirt are HUGE street market scenes of people made from different kinds of patchwork, 50's fabric. One amazing example is what appears to be sections of a 50's Hawaiian shirt that make up the body of the standing woman! The other people are: a small child, a sombrero-wearing man pushing a cart, a sitting woman with a basket of fruit & a man with a child riding a donkey.

The skirt is painstakingly, HEAVILY hand-embroidered and must have taken hours. There are no labels, but this is probably a fine example of a 1950's Mexican souvenir. It is unlike any I've ever seen and quite possibly, one of best! A rare treat!

The skirt is in excellent condition, with no stains, odors, holes, fading, etc. The skirt is made of 2 *slightly* different shades of dark blue. It is not noticeable until you are looking for it. It's NOT a flaw, but simply how these kinds of "ethnic folk art" skirts were constructed, with whatever materials were available.

The skirt fits like a modern small to medium, but please follow these measurements for your perfect fit:

WAIST: 26" right now- move the hook/eye over and you can make the waist up to a comfortable 28".
HIP: Open
LENGTH: 31"
