Matryoshka Skirt by GracefullyVintage

For a very long time I have wanted something with a matryoshka print and I searched for a while, only to never find anything that came even close to what I was looking for. And then, one day, Kayla sent me a photo of a fabric that she found at Spotlight, that just so happened to be perfect in every way and exactly what I had been wanting for so long. Some of you might remember a post from earlier this year when I blogged a beautiful two piece set that Kayla made for me in yellow gingham. Kayla is an extremely talented seamstress and makes the best skirts that fit perfectly and are wonderfully flattering and comfortable to wear.

The original plan was to make a sundress, however with such a bold fabric we both came to the decision that a fifties style dress would be too overwhelming. Instead the fabric works beautifully as a skirt teamed with a plain tshirt that doesn't draw attention away from the skirt and works to balance out the vivid colour and print. The skirt was made to be worn in Russia and I have been wearing it a lot during my time here as it's become one of my favorite outfits to go out in. I love how elegant but altogether low key a simple tshirt can look with a fifties skirt, making it a great casual look that still has a vintage feel to it.
