Vintage velvet midi boot skirt in a straight gentle a-line shape, made by J.G. Hook. Color is kind of in-between deep purple and burgundy depending on the light, though it is definitely more purple than red. No materials tag but likely a cotton blend, as most velvet skirts made after the 1950s or so tend to be. Fully lined in matching purple. Probably dating from the late 70s into the early 80s. Silhouette and overall style very reminiscent of the stuff that Ralph Lauren and Perry Ellis were putting out in the 1970s and 80s. Super cute skirt with tights and boots---and it has pockets!
Marked a size 10 but please see measurements provided in photos, as vintage sizing runs smaller than contemporary sizing. Compare these measurements to a garment that fits you well in order to determine if the item will work for you.
FLAWS NOTED: the skirt is in great shape, though there are a few scuffs. The most prominent one is pictured with a dime for scale. Not really noticeable when worn, but the price reflects the small imperfections present.
Please purchase carefully and with intention; I am not a professional seller/flipper, everything I have listed is part of my personal vintage collection. I am not Amazon, I cannot afford to have items shuttled back and forth in an endless loop of returns. I loved & treasured these clothes and I want the individual who buys them to love them too!
I DO NOT TAKE RETURNS for fit or condition, all items are sold AS-IS. If you are not comfortable with this please do not purchase from me. Please recognize that no vintage item will be perfect, small flaws are likely to be present---by purchasing vintage the buyer accepts this fact. These clothes will have had a long life before coming to you. I will however note any major flaws (holes, stains, etc.) on the listing if necessary.
I take care to describe each item throughly with words and pictures, but I'm also happy to answer any questions or provide more photographs/measurements in order to help you decide if the item is right for you. Please ask a question if you have one! An informed buyer is happy one in my experience.
All items are hand-washed in hypoallergenic unscented detergent, air-dried, and steam sanitized before shipping. No scented products of any kind (including moth balls, dryer sheets, room deodorizers, etc.) are used in my home. However, vintage items very rarely smell completely neutral, these clothes have been in storage, and I live in an old house, any of which might impart its own lightly perceptible scent even after laundering---if you are overly sensitive to scents I would advise bypassing vintage in general and my listings in particular might not be right for you.
This item comes from my personal vintage collection, which I have amassed over the course of the last 12 years or so. I will be listing many more items from this collection, as I am attempting to downsize. They are all roughly the same size, so if this item corresponds with your personal size and/or style you might be interested in other things that I have posted :)
