Based on a request from my small town doctor, Dr. Anne, the Cinch skirt is here for your frolicking needs.  The skirt features a 2-inch wide elastic waistband, patch pockets, and comes in a midi or maxi length.  It's a simple silhouette, but desperately classic and easy to dress up or down.  And it cinches you in at the waist real fine-like!
 
Textile: 1950s Amish Strip Quilt Topper
Garment Type: midi skirt with in-line pockets
 
Garment Measurements
Waist - 30 - 36
Hip - 64
Length - 28
*NOTE: waistband measurements are taken from laying flat to the maximum stretch - take your own waist measurements by using a dressmaker's tape or string and putting it around the smallest/squishiest part of your waist.  If you used a string, then measure that length.  You will want your waist measurement to fall into the given range.  If your waist measurement is on the higher end, I recommend sizing up for comfort, but elastic is REALLY forgiving.
 
As with all antique garments, there are likely to be some spots of wear. The quilts we work with are generally 100 years old or more, so you may find bits of character throughout the piece. It is not uncommon to see storage stains, small mends, or even pinholes throughout the garment. On these items, hand stitching will be visible in reverse and the use of selvedge edges are common. These are parts of the story of the garment and what we truly love about working with old textiles. The marks of the past are still here in our present.
