Flowers run in ribbons across this 1970s maxi skirt, from small scattered blooms
to larger roses around the hem. Pink, violet, red and green stand out against the
dark ground, giving the long silhouette depth as the fabric moves. The matching 
removable belt gathers the print at the waist, finished with a black lacquered buckle
decorated with raised flowers and gold-tone branches.

A high waist and pintuck-pleated front give the skirt its shape without weighing
down the lightweight, semi-sheer outer fabric. The outer fabric is micro polyester
and nylon. A full black lining provides coverage beneath the floral layer, while
a zip closure secures the waist. The result has the sweep of a dress with the styling
possibilities of separates.

**Modern size:** US 4/6. The waist measures approximately 28 inches; the hips are
somewhat free.

**About the model:** Melynda is 5ft 6in and typically wears USA 0/2 in tops and 
2/4 in bottoms. Her waist is 25 inches and her high hips are 37 inches; her usual
USA letter size is XS/S.

### Styling

Let the lacquered floral buckle be the focal point with a tucked-in blouse or a 
simple fitted tee. Flat sandals make the maxi length easy for daytime; boots or 
heels give it a dressier line. A fringed shawl, as shown, brings another layer of
pattern and movement for an evening look.

### Condition

**Condition:** Pristine vintage condition. Vintage and pre-owned. This piece is 
offered as-is due to its age and rarity.
