1958 dirndl skirt

I was having one of those "I have nothing cute to wear" days today, so I decided to make a new skirt to go with a sweater that I got for Christmas.  I dug out this 1958 Simplicity playsuit pattern and some vintage plaid that I bought at an estate sale, and a few hours later... ta-da!  I have cute skirtage!  Woohoo!

This was by far one of the easiest garments that I have ever made.  There isn't even a zipper or hooks - just one button and the opening is cleverly hidden in the pleats.  I usually don't wear skirts that are this full, but this thing was so fast and stress-free to make that I'm a complete dirndl convert now!

Sweet! And since the pattern's so quick, you can make one for every season of the year, too!

The dirndl skirt is a traditional garment associated with the Alpine regions of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It is typically worn as part of a dirndl, which is a traditional dress consisting of a bodice, blouse, and skirt. The dirndl skirt became popular in the 19th century and has since become an iconic symbol of traditional Alpine attire and I offer an online Hrm Dissertation Writing Service to the students at a cheap rate.
