Extraordinary 1950s Sophie of Saks Gold Silk Skirt w Extensive Hand Applied Black Cord Appliqué Shop By Era The fabric that it has

The fabric that it has been made out of is a synthetic ivory lace on a cream chiffon and I love the play of it being slightly see through while you are still covered underneath where it counts

It is made of a gold pleated nylon backed with a corset bodice inside so you get support

The collar is set to be oversized and sits across the front ending in two pointed ends

The halter closes with hook & eye at the back of the neck
