It is the type of thing you have to come up with on your own. But where do we find a 1940s dark grey wool skirt? Molly has 3 skirts: her blue wool "Meet" skirt, her red plaid holiday skirt released in 2008, and the red skirt for her skating outfit. Emily has the skirt to her two-piece swimsuit... but I think those are all of our 1940s skirt options. Not exactly everything we could ever desire...
So when we spotted this snazzy little ensemble I thought it was the perfect addition to Emily's wardrobe and it would finally give one of our 1940s' girls a dark grey wool skirt to wear.
This outfit was purchased from Ebay seller sophie_nc and it came with a lace-decorated blouse featuring an attached shoe brooch, a buttoned jacket with fancy decoration on the breast pocket, and the dark grey wool skirt. The fabric for the jacket and skirt is pinstriped. My little sister Maggie thought it looked like something Emily might have worn to school in England and brought over with her to the United States.
Sorry there are soooo many pictures, but we wanted to show the outfit in a variety of ways, including a pairing of the skirt with Emily's "Meet" sweater. We even included an up-close shot of the tiny shoe brooch on the shirt. We are just so impressed with this purchase; the outfit is very detailed and fits quite well. Emily is happy to have such sophisticated attire!
Coming up next from Badger's Wood: Susan's new penguin pajamas and a starry pillow from Etsy seller nayasdesigns! Until we see you again- as Emily might say- toodle pip!
