As a rule, the tops are preserved and the skirts are lost over the years. With this beautiful garment, it's the other way around. The skirt is still there, the top is no longer. The skirt comes from a Scottish collection. It is made of dark purple/aubergine silk. Two wide (and mirrored) sewn-on panels of black jet beads, in the shape of an "L". Small train. Excellent condition. Still wearable today.
