This piece was inspired by a vintage skirt from Micheline's personal collection. The lace is cotton and is custom woven in America, and features a 1940's inspired spider web motif. There are built in shorts that is made from a soft yet heavy ponte that will allow you to wear this as a romper or easily slide your own crinoline on top for a lovely full skirt look as shown. This piece can be worn with the matching bustier top or any top for a truly unique look! In good used condition see pics for details La Femme en noir Vixen by micheline pitt Hellbunny Sourpuss
