Description
The wacky, abstract line drawings on this late 1950s or early 1960s pleated skirt remind me of artwork by Paul Klee. The striking cotton blend fabric is printed with black figures over a purple, dark pink and yellow "paint splatter" background. The shape of the skirt is narrow at the black grosgrain waistband, and widens towards the hem in a sunburst-pleated design. It could be worn with crinoline underneath if you would prefer a more full silhouette. The skirt is unlined and in excellent condition, closing with metal side zipper and a single hook and eye at the waistband. This might be one of my favorite prints ever on a 50s or 60s textile--really fantastic and unique!
