About the Item
A skirt that has withstood over 150 years on the planet with no loss of color, print or integrity despite having lived through winters on the Plains and washing with lye; front and back hips gently discolored from years of hand-wiping. The decorative self-fabric bands sewn on the diagonal prove that though Pioneer clothes were all about work, they also left room for modest self-expression.
Handmade blue and white calico print maxi skirt with lightly gathered waistline and plain, unprinted waistband; two 1 ¾” bands at mid-calf and hem sewn on the diagonal. Five hook and eye closures at rear; unlined.
