Patterns of skirts

People of the older generation remember times when stores in our country were empty and spacious, and sellers are silent and unapproachable. To buy such a wardrobe item, like a skirt, was an impossible task. But while women looked charming, watched the fashion and dressed in most cases beautifully and stylishly. The fact is that almost all women in the Soviet Union were able to sew.

In each house there was necessarily a sewing machine, a set of threads, needles and other sewing accessories. Moreover, the girls in those days, getting together, played dolls, but they did not play the scenes of the happy wedding of Barbie and Ken, but sewed clothes for toys. In the kindergarten, children learned to embroider, they skillfully sewed on the work lessons and could sew the handkerchief with hand stitches.

They could simply refuse to sew fashion clothes.

But the Soviet women of fashion did not retreat. Patterns of skirts of any models were developed independently.
