This lovely skirt is definitely unique and has only been worn once! It is, travesty of travesties, too small for me now :-(. This gorgeous fabric concoction has a high-low structure which actually allows for much more movement of the tiers and shows them off wonderfully. The black background and white tiers with lace are highlighted by the diagonal striping in varying widths. The stripes are an antique silver colour and add shimmer as well as even more visual interest. This is a well-made and special piece of clothing and it perfectly celebrates frothy fun with a side of serious. There is a small 6.5" (16cm) invisible zipper in the back. The sizing bridges two of the choices for posting but this will fit a 6-8 and is labelled Medium. There is a little bit of stretch to the fabric, but just a little. Given the length of the top of the skirt, sizing will depend on how high or how low the skirt is worn, so please keep that in mind! x-posted Flat measurements: Waist: 14.5" (36cm) Hip (more or less): 16" (40.5cm) Widest point above tiers: 17.5 (44cm) Length of waist to top front tier: 12.25" () Length of front, waist to hem: 25" (63.5 cm) Length of back, waist to hem: 30" (76 cm)
