Crochet Circle Skirt

Crochet Circle Skirt makes 50s fashion flirty. A beautiful overlay, this circle skirt offers fullness with peek-a-boo appeal. Wear it over a petticoat for an authentic deco look. Or, be inventive and let it be more contemporary.

Most important, this skirt is made from restored and revamped vintage textiles. The outer shell originates as a handmade crocheted table round. In addition, the model shows off this skirt with a Sliptique slip skirt.  Seamless construction.

While the skirt measures 26″ at the waist, the hips measure 52″. Thus, the full hemline measures 150″ around. Fabric content is unknown. However, the thread content appears to be cotton. As a result of aging, the threads show natural oxidation which enhances its look.

About this circle skirt:

Found in perfect vintage condition,  a custom crocheted table round transforms into the perfect skirt.

The waistband stands out as its most stunning component. On a routine jaunt to a thrift shop, a pile of antique textiles sat amidst other fabric donations. To my amazement, these fabrics dated to the turn of the century with origins pointing to central Asia. An act of love and art transformed them into a powerful waist statement. Also, a frog closure finishes the waistband. A side placket constructs from vintage textiles from Thailand. Therefore, the skirt honors Asian antiquity.

About Sliptique:

Sliptique follows the principled belief in repurpose using existing material to stop harmful fashion overproduction. Most important, the designers consider it a spiritual process as they believe items become found to be awakened by the finder. The detailed beauty of the collection expresses this awakening.
