Colleen | Vintage 1950s swing circle skirt Diagonal stripes Dress

The story:

Stripes this way. And that way. Absolutely OUR way of combining stripes! Diagonal stripes are rare and often a little wonky. But this is so beautifully made it kills us that we have to let it go. 

The classic brown and blue (anyone thinking of those double-ends color Colleen color pencils we had in the 80s?) perks it up and brings so much life! 

And did we mention the 50s flare skirt and the 2 cute pleats at the sides topped with a button each PLUS the button-down back?
