Vintage Square Dance Squaw Dress
This auction is for a vintage two-piece handmade “squaw” dress that was worn for square dancing in the 1950s. Skirt and top are made a medium blue crinkly fabric that I believe is a cotton/Rayon blend. It has applied sparkly silver ric-rac and white, blue and silver floral ribbon trim. I would estimate that this would be a size medium but please review the measurements to determine if it will fit you.
Skirt - waistband is 14 ½” flat with metal side zipper and snap closures; 26” from waist to hem; creates a full circle when laid flat; photo shows skirt with two crinolines underneath (not included)
Top – loose fitting at 19” across bust with side darts; side metal zipper
There is some discoloration from perspiration in the underarm area (see second photo - the top is shown folded in the middle) and inside the neckline (couldn't get it to show up in a photo). This would be great for square dancing or for anyone partial to the Rockabilly style.
I have another vintage square dance dress listed and am happy to combine shipping for winners of multiple auctions. If you have questions about this item, my payment policy or shipping options, please contact me before bidding. Thank you.
