Frequently Asked Questions for 40's style cocktail dresses 1940s Cocktail Dress, Party Dress History and Guide

How can I choose a skirt that works with my existing wardrobe?

Check the care requirements against the way you normally clean and maintain your clothing. Try planning a casual outfit and a slightly dressier outfit if you want the skirt to serve several purposes.

What should I check when choosing a cotton or cotton-blend skirt?

Compare garment measurements without relying on expected future stretching. Consider fabric thickness for the season instead of treating cotton as automatically lightweight.

What should I do when a skirt size chart uses unfamiliar units?

Use your current measurements rather than an old clothing label alone. Save a copy of the relevant chart for later reference.
