Behold! The extremely rare and highly coveted Lady and the Tramp circle skirt. Originally sold in 1955 at JC Penney stores as cut-n-sew panel kits, they were released to promote the classic Disney film. These kits were released in black, red, and the turquoise you see here, which is the rarest of the three colorways. This is a wonderful piece for any Disney or novelty print collection.

Info:
♥ Circa: 50s
♥ Label: None, handmade from panel kit
♥ Color: Turquoise (Best depicted in second photo. Not completely a light blue)
♥ Material: Cotton
♥ Condition: Very good vintage condition. There is an all over, even subtle fade. There are a few scattered small spots, the most visible being on the waistband, with the rest getting lost in the folds of the skirt (some of these photos have been lightened to show detail). These kits did not come with a waistband, the maker had to source their own fabric, so the waistband is ever so slightly a different shade of turquoise (they did a great job matching it regardless). A few clip hanger marks on waistband which have the possibility of being pressed out (we only steamed and did not use an iron). Overall presents absolutely beautifully and is in strong wearable condition.
