Size 8 1940s Skirt - Beautiful Rosie Riveter Workday Style - Cocoa Brown & Ecru Wool 40s A-Line Skirt - WWII Era Utility Look - Waist 26.5

This 1940s tailored wool skirt is so good! It's a jaunty A-line with top stitched waistband, belt loops, and a pair of triangle flap hip pockets with button accents. There's an invert V pleat at center front, and a kicky flare to the wartime silhouette. Very Rosie the Riveter!

Very nice for its age, very wearable, with approx 8-10 tiny beige specks in random places that are vague and hard to notice on this pattern, a 1/8-inch repaired hole low at left front near the hem, also hard to notice; the buttons at pockets are 1950s era and likely replacements, while button at back waist is also a 1940s era replacement with buttonhole partly sewn closed; overall very good/near excellent
