Description

A full-length antique cream or off-white textile garment—specifically a late 19th or early 20th-century silk skirt. The garment is a silk skirt featuring a gathered waistband that flows down into an expansive, elegant silhouette. The lightweight fabric shows natural creasing and slight age-related tonal variations across its surface. The construction features four staggered layers of material draped horizontally to create a tiered, voluminous effect. The fourth and final layer extending at the bottom hemline serves as the train for the garment.
