Verde Verdi | Vintage 1960s 1970s Horizontal stripes Green, Khaki and White Flaired A-line skirt Dres
We cannot emphasis how much we think vintage frocks tell so much with so little. To appreciate vintage, you truly have to look past all the frills and thrills and see what makes it a good garment.
Just 3 colours, and some exceedingly well-placed pleats. And we have this immaculate lady from the 1960s/70s. If not for the machine stitching, it could totally pass off as a 1940s/1950s gem.
The neckline ever so well done. Genteel and with the right about of thickness.
And check out the details at the shoulders. We love how it creates structure in the bodice and give it a bit of that feminine curve.
Absolutely loving the pleated skirt too. Fitted and pleated so harmoniously.
Pinned?: No.
Measurements:
All measurements are taken with the garment laid flat.
Please DOUBLE the measurements provided to get the approximate circumference measurements.
Alternatively, you can take a piece of your own clothing, lay it flat, measure it and make a comparison.
