All silk skirt, vintage Calypso, adjustable waist with silk strings same fabric as skirt. The silk has a slight shimmer to it I would best describe as reminding me of taffeta fabric. The back waist has a gathering affect when adjusted for size which adds a very nice interest of detail. Excellent condition. Beautiful bronze/brownish color- hard to describe color (I always think are the best colors are hard to describe). Slightly high in front and low in back by a few inches.
