ThesFlishThngs said:Has anyone some thoughts on this skirt, regarding era or purpose? The white part above the pleats is satiny, like a crinoline lining would be. It fits snuggly over the hips, with the pleated part beginning at the lower hip/upper thigh. When wearing it, all I can think to do is add a long sweater, but I wonder how it was worn originally, and when?
Also, there's the paper tag inside, as seen in the second photo, along with a thin strip of paper stitched in where the brown and white are sewn together.
This looks 80's to me, it is the skirt part of an outfit and would have gone with a long coordinating tailored
jacket.The top white part isn't supposed to show. I think 80's because it is bengaline, and also because it has serged edges.The paper caught in the stitching is something remaining from the manufacturing process.
It would look good with a long sweater or tunic.

A jacket which has been dated as been late 40's
It is by Kay Brooke of New York , I would very much like to know if any of you have come across her before.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the date of the top? It was sold as 1930s, but I thought it might be a little later...? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
