The History of the Skirt

"Did you know the skirt is the second oldest women's garment in history? It's preceded only by the loin cloth in age. In Egyptian times, the skirt was worn by both men and women which can be verified by looking at drawings from ancient times"

Hot Pink 1960's Dress with Black Netting, Original Vintage Style!



Hot Pink 1960's Dress with Black Netting, Original Vintage Style! 
Size 8-10
Pre-owned.
Bust: approx. 850mm
Hips: approx 875mm
Waist: approx. 725mm


This beautiful dress was hand made by my great-grandmother, (hence original vintage style), so the hem is a bit uneven underneath the dress. Other than that, this dress is in relatively good condition, a few tiny holes in the netting, but these are not noticeable! 
Definitely deserving of praise, this dress has been through generations and is now in need of a good home!

I personally love how this dress looks when it's on, as it makes the wearer feel supported yet shows off the stunning skirt flowing freely.

American reproduction! 
Pre-owned
Size 8-10
Bust: approx. 850mm

This dress is definitely one of my favourites, feels great when it's on and looks amazing! 
Definitely a regrettable sell! Brief history; this dress was my grandmother's when she was younger so it has seen some pretty amazing events in time, it brings back nostalgic memories from even when I was younger and I would love to see it go to a good home!
