Candy Stripe

My 'Vintage Textiles' items are all old but unused fabrics. This is from a classic 1950's candy stripe thick unused cotton sheet. Stripes are woven in, not printed and I've left the selvedge as the hem, they just don't make them like this one anymore.

This skirt has some big pleats and is then gathered on to an elasticated waistband, making the waist a little less poofy than with just gathers. I alternated the stripe on the patch pockets and waistband. All my skirts have generous pockets because pockets are essential!

I finish the elasticated waist to your size, just let me know your actual waist size in the comments box.

Because I'm working with salvaged textiles I don't offer any standard measurements, lengths and widths will vary according to how much fabric I have and of course pattern matching.

Can fit up to a 48" hip
Length 35"
Hem width laid flat 45"

Everything in my shop is made by me in my very messy studio in Staffordshire and all from secondhand fabrics in good natural fibres, cotton, linen, silk and wool.
