Beautiful original French 1940s full skirt, crafted from a rich cobalt blue linen fabric with an elegant, softly structured drape.
Cut with a classic high waist and generous flared silhouette, the skirt is decorated across the lower half with scattered ivory-white embroidered leaf motifs. The raised embroidery creates a beautiful contrast against the intense blue ground and gives the piece a distinctly refined, artisanal character.
Finished with a fitted waistband and an original French ÉCLAIR metal side zipper, together with a hook-and-eye fastening. The interior construction and reverse of the embroidery reveal lovely period hand-finishing details.
A particularly elegant example of 1940s French fashion, combining a wonderfully simple silhouette with striking botanical embroidery and a vivid cobalt blue color.
