The Villager Green Polka Dot Skirt-Vintage

Super cute vintage skirt in green with navy, red and white polka dots. It’s in fantastic condition with working back zipper and button plus it still has the best loops on the side! The Villager was started as a blouse company, though they soon were making other separates and sleepwear. The company was started by the Raab family of Philadelphia — brothers Norman and Max and Max’s wife Mary Jones Raab. Information is conflicting, but the Villager label probably dates from 1956. They started making solid-color button-down shirts, but Mary Raab was soon designing the signature prints that made Villager famous. Soon the blouse was joined in production by a shirtdress and more products were added as the company grew in popularity. Villager was known for their small prints, commonly in shades of one color on white. The shirts and shirt-dresses often had a Peter Pan collar and short roll-up sleeves. Starting in 1963 the lead designer at Villager was Mildred Orrick.
