waist 16 inches

Well made and substantial. Unknown fabric content - the skirt feels like wool, and the top appears to be some sort of rayon taffeta satin
Has been very well cared for and preserved over the years. Color is vibrant with no fading. Looks unworn- inner tags still "crisp". No pilling, no stains.
Note: We found a few tiny nicks/divots in the finish of the fabric. Possibly from moths? Most of them don't go all the way through and the lining is fully intact behind them. One pinhole in the top. Pointed out in last 4 photos.
