Vintage 1970s Custom Clothier Appliquéd Embroidered skirt
This A-line skirt was owned by my mother. She commissioned it from a local custom clothier in the late 1970s. While she used it for golf, it can easily be a whimsical casual skirt.
The main fabric is chambray blue.
The purple hippopotami and the golf green are appliquéd fabric with embroidered details.
One hippo is located on the side seam. A smaller hippo is on the back pocket.
She kept her clothing in excellent condition, but this skirt seems to have "closet fading". It's still a real gem!
In good condition. NO smells, NO stains. Discoloration and fading along each side seam. There might be some subtle fading along the hem. (I can't be sure... very subtle.) The adhesive for some of the applique has bubbled. The bubbles are small and could be considered a 3D feature. See pictures.
The fabric is an easy care cotton-poly blend. This custom skirt has no labels.
Here is how Mom cared for this skirt: Delicate cycle with cool water using mild detergent; cool dryer and cool iron.
