Description

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Tiki culture became popular in the US – brought to the mainland by US servicemen coming back from being stationed in Polynesia. At the same time, with satellites, animals, later humans reaching orbit, the public became fascinated with outer space.

This skirt pattern takes inspiration from the space race, and the designs used on Aloha/Hawaiian shirts popular at the time to imagine what mid-century designers might have come up with, had they had the images of planets we currently enjoy.

The soft fabric and flared cut of this skater skirt are just a few of the reasons why it’s bound to become a favorite in your wardrobe. The flattering silhouette looks great on any body type, and thanks to the elastic waistband, you’ll feel extra comfy.
