This skirt is as cool as I think, right?

I really haven't done much with 50s cottons in a few years and feel out of touch. I think this skirt is pretty great, although a small waist size.

Are the graphics as neat as I think, or am I getting my hopes up with out basis?

Very pretty, feminine, a springtime delight! Floral prints are doing well for me right now :spin:

Hollis,

You might want to check out this link. It talks about clothing manufacturing in Texas and there is mention of Justin McCarty there. I thought the article was pretty interesting and it mentions several other Texas clothing manufacturers as well.

There was also this information from Wikipedia about one of Justin McCarty's employees having taken a film of the Kennedy assasination.

It's a stunner! Reminds me of the art deco kimono prints...eames era background with floral motif...very unusual patterning.
