This is a beautiful 80s or early 90s silk lame wrap skirt by German designer Harriet Selling. It is all one piece, designed to wrap over itself, there is no gap in a seam to feed the tie through. The front features an accordian pleated trumpet flare that bounces and flows with your movement. The fabric has glittering gold threads woven with black, creating a wavy textured stripe design. It's a very special piece!
