An exceptional, dramatic, intricately pleated skirt in remarkable condition. Over 50 horizontal pleats of gradually increasing depth give a stunning, articulated/scaled effect, truly a fantastic feat of tailoring! Three ruffled vents to the back and a single split to the front allow ease of movement and a mermaid hemline if worn long enough to trail. Length is a fantastic 49\", allowing for heels on most people. Waist is 14.5\" across, with 19\" at hip point. Exposed side zip may be a replacement? Tiny hole and some discolouration to hem as shown. Silk satin lining throughout.
