This is a wraparound skirt made from a Linton wool, combined with a vintage animal print challis scarf. I was very excited to find this wool. Linton is one of the most prestigious mills in England.

This piece is a Houndstooth pattern, with some silver metallic mixed into the grey areas.
The waistband is satin, and the ties are a sheer fabric. The hem and edges are fringed. And there is a Vintage button on the waistband.
As this is a wrap skirt it will fit everyone. The length of the wool section is 25", and the length of the scarf is 27 & 1/2". The overall width is 48". I will cut the ties according to your measurements.
