Beautiful antique skirt from the early 1900s, an Edwardian print silk in charming twilight hues. It's dusky blue with quiet floral medallions in three gores, with a ruched band edged in pink silk, so beautifully feminine. The pink satin waistband is a 1940s era brocade, added to replace the original (shattered) silk waistband.
