A-line skirts

An A-line skirt sits close at the waist and widens towards the hem, giving it the outline of the letter A. The cut appeared in the 1940s, when fabric was scarce and a skirt still needed room to move, and it remained the everyday shape throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Our vintage style A-line skirts are newly made by Weekend Doll, House of Foxy, Banned Retro and Circus Clothing, with a size chart on every product page.

Most styles are knee length or midi and have a high waistband that blouses tuck into neatly. Depending on the style there is a button placket, pockets, decorative buttons or a herringbone weave, in plain colours such as navy, red and brown, in denim or with a print. The A-line skirt suits almost every figure because it defines the waist and falls loosely over hips and thighs.

Other cuts: pencil skirts with a slim silhouette and circle skirts with even more fullness, with every style under vintage style skirts. An A-line skirt looks its best with a tucked in blouse or a short cardigan. If you would rather try things on, you can visit our shop in Windsbach by appointment.
