Handmade High Waist Lined Quilt Topper Ruffle Pantaloon Pants- Ultra Rare 1940s Rainbow Postage Stamp
Handmade High Waist Lined Quilt Topper Ruffle Pantaloon Pants- Ultra Rare 1940s Rainbow Postage Stamp
These pants are made from a vintage postage stamp quilt topper that I have lined with 100% Cotton Fabric. There is no batting between the two layers, sp I would say this a very light weight quilt. Judging by the fabric, hand stitching, and style, I would say this is from the 1940s, there is some old indigo calico fabric and silk towards the ends, so its possibly this was started even earlier that that . This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a full ruffle trim, wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility :)
