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"
