The late 1970s and 1980s designers really got opulence fashion right! From London designer Caroline Charles, this shining golden long skirt is made from a gorgeous striped pure silk, decadently full with layers of net and silk underneath. It is a skirt that originally was probably only worn to events and parties, but now is the time to not save things for best so wear with trainers and a tee for a trip to Tesco!

Description

• Stripe fabric in a yellow, orangey red, white and blue
• Stiff waistband
• Pleated to create fullness
• Full length
• Lined in silk
• Built in petticoat underneath to keep fullness and shape
• Made from a light weight pure silk with a slight sheen, with the petticoat being made from quite stiff net
• Fastens with a hidden zip to the back and a slide hook
• Caroline Charles London label to the inside

Condition

There are a few faults so it is not perfect but due to the print, it is not hugely noticeable.
The waistband has been extended at the back to a good standard but the stripes do not match up. A couple of tiny holes to the band that looks to be from a skirt hanger clip.
There is a couple of small dark marks to the side of the dress, and some to the front from food/drink splashes.
There are a few pulls to the silk in a couple of places.
