content: A wool wrap skirt with a faux fur trim. The skirt is made from four panels of wool synthetic blend fabric and wraps right over left. There is one hook and eye closure at the waist and slightly below that, are two rows of four eyes at the proper left. Each hook corresponds to a metal eye on the proper right skirt panel. There are two inseam pockets (one on each side) that are lined with synthetic polka dot taffeta on either side of the hips. A 6.75” band of cream, gray, and brown faux fur is hand stitched to the bottom of the skirt, over the hem, and the bottom hem is finished with a 1.75” fold which is also hand stitched into place. The interior waistband and the right edge of the skirt are faced with a 1.5” black synthetic blend Petersham ribbon. The interior left edge is faced with a .5” light gray synthetic ribbon. One vertical row of the metal eyes is backed with black synthetic taffeta.
