My first Swirl! I think?

When I saw the button, I was pleased because I knew it was a Swirl. BUT, no label and no sign of there ever having a been a label and now I'm not so sure. Hoping those of you who've had Swirls can tell by the construction (Lizzie!) on the inside. It has an elasticized band inserted on either side of the waistband. All the seams of the skirt are serged whereas the top seams are pinked except for the darts which are a blunt cut. Not sure of the name for the hem stitching - bottom part of last pic.

Yeah or nay to Swirl?

Thanks!

Someone posted a Swirl at the Fedora Lounge just the other day, with the identical neckline, even with the stitching. It has a later block print label that is not stitched down all the way round like the regualr label is. This very well could be a later one, especially with that print. I say yes, 99% positive.

I'm glad Lizzie weighed in. I too, have the feeling that it is a later one, due to fabrication and construction shown.

Thank you both for weighing in! The resource has block letters on those from the 70s - so 70s here too?

 

[fuzzylizzie]

Yes, I'd sat very early 70s.

Thanks again, Lizzie!
