If the 1980s had a softer side, this skirt would be it. It features a beautiful abstract floral print that feels almost like a mosaic, rendered in a soothing palette of sky blue, dusty rose, and cream with artistic black outlines. But the real magic is in the texture—the fabric is a “jacquard,” meaning there is a subtle leaf pattern woven right into the material that catches the light, layered underneath the printed design.
This piece was lovingly handmade and features quality tailoring details like a hand-stitched hem and a generous 8-inch back kick pleat (vent) for ease of movement. It is fully lined in white fabric that feels soft against the skin. The silhouette is a classic straight or pencil cut, and based on the measurements and history, it is perfectly proportioned for a Petite frame. It closes with a back nylon zipper and a hook-and-eye.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The fabric is vibrant with no noted stains or pulls. The interior seams are pinked (zigzag cut) and the hem is hand-stitched, showing the care put into its construction.
