This luscious midi skirt is made from 100% silk. The designer is Antonella Ore who was well known for creating high end fashion designs and came to be best know in the late 70s. Her clothing was known for always used the best fabrics such as silks and wools and were designed in classic flattering cuts. This particular skirt is no exception. The waist is meant to be worn high and both a side zipper and small button. The front is cut in a V for a little extra flair. The skirt is fully lined with a black satin. The only flaw that I can find is a small hole in the side. The hole only travels through the outer layer and is almost impossible to see when the skirt is on. The size is a European size 36 which is approximately a size US 2. Please see measurements for best representation of fit. Measurementslength 26.5"waist 12.5"
