Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1920s Orchid Embroidered Silk and Flour Sack

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1920s Orchid Embroidered Silk and Flour Sack

These pants are made from an antique/ vintage checkered Silk and Flour Sack quilt with orchid embroidery. There is cotton batting between the two layers, but I would say this a light to medium weight quilt. Judging by the fabric, hand stitching and embroidery, and style, I would say this is from the  1920s-1930s. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility :).

Color Scheme: Light Pink, White, with multicolored hand done embroidery
