VTG Reversible Scottish Wool Pleated Skirt-Women 28" Waist-Royal Stewart Tartan
Condition: very good preowned condition, tags have been removed
Material: Virgin Wool (no tag)
Features: The standout feature of this skirt is its true reversible "Turnabout" construction, offering two high-contrast looks in one garment. This skirt is well crafted with crisp pleats.
Dual-Design Features
Side 1 (Full Tartan): A bold, all-over Royal Stewart Tartan (red base with black, white, and yellow grid).
Side 2 (Solid with Border): A solid red wool body featuring a decorative horizontal tartan "border" band at the hem.
"Peek-a-boo" Movement: The pleats are engineered so that when you walk, the underside pattern is momentarily revealed within the folds.
100% Virgin Wool: A heavyweight, structured wool typical of Scottish heritage brands like The Scotch House or Highland Queen.
Stitch-Down Pleats: The knife pleats are stitched flat from the waist to the hip. This creates a slimming fit through the torso before flaring out into a full, swinging skirt.
Reversible Hardware: Features a vintage brass YKK side zipper and a button closure designed to function smoothly from either side.
Midi Length: Usually hits between the knee and mid-calf, a classic mid-century silhouette.
Fixed Waistband: A non-stretch, structured 28-inch waistband (14" flat) that provides a secure, tailored fit.
Hidden Tagging: To maintain the reversible look, tags were often sewn into the zipper tape, though many owners removed them for comfort
