Featuring a unique mid-century print, this 1950s novelty skirt showcases an 'April Showers' theme showcasing flowers, umbrellas, shoes, the sun, and the words "April Showers" and "Raining Violets". Fastening is provided by a metal zipper on the left side, along with a clear plastic button. The gathered pleats underneath the waistband create a flattering silhouette, while the garment is unlined. Note: The skirt was photographed with a crinoline slip, but this is not included.

CONDITION:
Very good vintage condition. There is a small mark under the button and some loose stitching on the waistband (doesn't affect wear).

Regardless of these flaws, the skirt still presents beautifully and has been priced accordingly.
