Dating Handmade Skirt

[Teisha]

Hello,

Does anyone have any guesses when 'Suzanne' could have made this skirt?

Thanks,

Teisha

Hi,

It's a little rough in construct but it is rather nice.

Late 90s and into the 00s.

For some reason I can't get Cruella out of my head looking at your photos.

 

[Teisha]

Anyone else have any ideas?

It strikes me as high 90s supermodel glam...

Here are a couple more photos,

Not sure if these clasps can help date it further?

the "Suzanne" label looks like a costume shop label to me.

I had a similar skirt in the early 1990s but it was not as long and had no buttons, mine was mid calf. Same very high waist which I always loved.

I think you might be right Carla - I wonder if it was made for a play. It could also be trying to look late 1940s - New Look type stuff... It's a great skirt, but definitely not commercially made, and the name tag, and heavy duty hooks and eyes and snaps, suggest an intent for rigorous use or fast changes...

Great answer Jonathan. Very knowledgeable.
