Authentic 1950s vintage novelty wool knit wrap skirt featuring a striking asymmetrical design and playful handcrafted details. Constructed from a mid-to-heavyweight, tightly textured flat-rib knit pure black wool, this exceptional piece is defined by its vibrant front-left cascading edge of thick loop-fringe (shag/tassel) yarn flare in high-saturation shades of purple, cobalt blue, sunset orange, and sunny yellow.
Designed as a functional mid-century wrap style, it fastens securely down the front with a row of matching black buttons. The compact, high-waisted wool knit comfortably hugs the waist and hips before releasing into a clean, gentle A-line silhouette. A beautiful, rare example of 1950s wearable art and artisan texture craftsmanship.
Excellent vintage condition. The wool knit remains structurally sound, structured, and holds its shape beautifully. The novelty rainbow yarn fringe flare is full, clean, and untangled. All original buttons are firmly attached. Free of notable snags, moth holes, odors, or stains.
