French Jet Sautoir with Rondelles - Personal Collection Black Bakelite Carved Bangle - Personal Collection 1940s Rayon Crepe Cocktail Dress

This skirt in my Personal Collection was homemade from Crantex fabric (marked on the selvage) - but never finished. It lacks a zipper or buttons and closes with snaps and hooks. But, it's still a favorite!
