Women's 50s Circle Skirt Atomic Kitsch MCM Print Full Tiered Vintage Medium VFG
A great vintage skirt in a killer print! The skirt is gathered onto a 2" wide waistband. The three gathered tiers add enough fullness to make a little more than a complete circle.
SIZE: No size label
| Measurements | Inches | Cm |

FABRIC/COLORS: Medium weight cotton in a fabulous stylized atomic print, very Midcentury Modern. Colors are tomato orange/red, dark teal, avocado green, and very dark purple.
TAGS: No tags at all - this may have been custom sewn.
CLOSURES: The waistband closes with two pairs of hooks & eyes with a 7" metal zipper right below.
CONDITION: On close inspection, I see two few small areas of light tan discoloration, both on the right side of the skirt. The did not shift when I washed - given the print and the volume of fabric, I would say they are minor - see close-up of one area near the upper edge of the bottom tier. A previous owner enlarged the waist to its current measurement by moving the hook & eyes a bit further apart creating a small gap at the top of the zipper when it is closed - see second close-up. If you want to close it, you will lose 3/4" at the waist. I have repaired a few seam openings. No other issues noted.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
