Bubblegum pink gives this 1950s/60s Bradley cotton skort its point of view before
a single accessory enters the picture. The overlapping front brings the look of 
a skirt to a pair of shorts, with a defined waistband and textured fabric adding
interest to the single-color design. From the front, the panel draws a clean line;
turn around and the shorts silhouette becomes clear.

It is a cheerful piece with plenty of styling range. Let the pink carry a simple
outfit, or treat it as the solid counterpoint to a patterned blouse, as shown here.
The appeal is in that balance between a playful color and a practical shape, whether
the day calls for a city walk, a picnic in the park or brunch with friends. The 
same piece can take a more dressed-up direction with a change of top and shoes.

**Brand:** Bradley

**Material:** Cotton.

**Marked size:** Vintage 8. **Modern size:** US 2. **Waist:** 24 inches.

**About the model:** Ghazal is 5 feet 7 inches and typically wears approximately
a modern high-fashion US dress size 4/6 or Medium. Her measurements are a 34C bust,
27-inch waist and 40-inch hips.

## Condition

**Conservation scale:** Near mint. Deadstock, new with tags. This piece is sold 
as-is due to its age and rarity.

## Styling

A white blouse, elegant sandals and delicate accessories give the pink a light, 
polished setting. For a more relaxed day, try a graphic tee and sneakers. Both approaches
keep the skort at the center of the outfit: the blouse plays up its skirt-like front,
while the tee makes the shorts construction feel especially at home. Take either
combination from an afternoon stroll to meeting friends, or switch the sandals and
accessories to carry the color into the evening.
