Vintage 50s Off White (Light Unsaturated Ivory) & Red with Black Plaid Skirt
Label: Toni Owen Sportswear
Toni Owen received a Mademoiselle Merit Award for Fashion Design in 1947, and a Coty Award in 1949. In 1950, Vogue magazine named her as one of America's top 12 designers.
No size tag - Approx modern XS - Waist: 24" fitted / Length: 21". Model is 5'1" XS - very generous hem (see closeup photo of material turned up at hem with tape measure), makes me wonder if this was originally longer? Metal zipper closure with button. No material named- has plush feel - wool blend?
Flaw - Button hole is a bit stretched and material directly around hole stressed, button itself is somewhat rough around the edge. Visible on closeup photo. There is some loose simple stitches across the top of a couple of the pleats - I am not a seamstress so not sure if this is intentional or original. Seems the stitching would keep the pleat flat but may not be necessary.

This item is sold from an excellent, highly rated vintage boutique.
