GREEN WOOL TULIP BELL SKIRT, M, on sale

Description

(re-listed due to NPB)

OK, so I made a mistake.
I actually made this skirt for myself but I didn't test it for final fit, and as usual I over-estimated my size (I always think I'm bigger than I am) and it turned out too big. The saving grace is that I do have more of this gorgeous grass-green wool tweed, so I'm offering this one for sale at a discounted price, and will make myself another!

The fabric is a vintage wool tweed in rich, saturated emerald green flecked with caramel. It's VERY bright, like a parrot green, and the fabric is thick and heavy, perfect for the chill of Fall and Winter. It has a smidgeon of acrylic in it - I'd estimate no more than 10%. It's hand-washable (smells like a wet sheep when wet, but that goes) and irons up beautifully with a gentle steam iron. It's unlined as I was testing out the pattern (it's not my own design) and I didn't want to add bulk to the already bulky tweed (a little scratchy so be sure to wear tights). It's both serged and pinked on the inside, and the waistband is lined with a cute cotton print.

It's a supremely comfy cut - super slouchy and very flattering, and somehow, very French in its shape (don't ask me why - it just is). It measures:

* 36" around the "waist"band (actually sits on the high-hip)
* 45" around hips, taken 5" below top edge
* 23.5" in length

I'd estimate it's best for a US sizes 8,10 or possibly 12 (AU 12-14-16), depending how high or low you wear it on your torso.

This skirt is heavy and bulky so postage is a bit more. As always, any significant over-charge will be refunded.

Any questions, convo me!
