Greetings!  Offered for auction is this blue Chinese silk skirt with black and gold trim and appliques with silk and gold threads.  The skirt measures 44" across the waistband the length is 36".  The skirts is a beautiful patterned blue silk gauze with black and gold metallic bands.  It has a linen or cotton band at the top. It is quite beautiful but you can see from the pictures, there is some damage and fraying due to age.  The appliques are just beautiful but some are loose--especially on one side. The pleats on one side of the skirt are still quite sharp, the pleats on the other side have started to come loose. Please look carefully at the pictures before bidding!

This skirt was purchased at an estate auction this past fall.  The previous owner was a true artist--she was a sewer, quilter, weaver, doll maker and much, much more.  This skirt came along with many other items we purchased at the auction.  It appears that she purchased it at an auction as the tag is still attached at the waist.  If you have any questions, please email me.  Thanks for looking!
