A charming and beautifully restored vintage skirt (c. 1940s) featuring a clever combination of fabrics: a sturdy cotton upper and a dreamy organdy lower tier that catches the light and adds a delicate, ethereal quality to the silhouette. Organdy — a crisp, sheer plain-weave fabric — was a popular choice in 1940s fashion for adding volume and femininity to skirts and eveningwear.
The contrast between the grounded cotton and the airy organdy gives this piece a wonderful visual interest and movement. Thoughtfully restored with visible mending that honors the garment's history.
