Flight of Fancy; Edwardian Linen Walking Skirt

Description

Created in the old Brighton studio from finest quality couture pure linen. A heavy smooth satin weave with a luxurious drape in a lovely bone shade.
A high waisted look in the style of an Edwardian walking skirt. There is an internal calico basque waist that carries some lightweight spiral corset boning to support the high waist and maintain the smooth look. A couple of layers of soft petticoat net add a little body to the shape, and the whole is fully lined in ivory silk habutai. Closes at back with concealed zip. 

The deep set-in pockets feature a pair of beautiful original antique/early vintage appliqués; dimensional sunflower embroidery on organdie.  

 

This is a one-off unrepeatable piece that has just been used in a couple of photo-shoots, and is in excellent freshly cleaned eminently wearable condition. There are possibly a slight snag to the surface of the linen, or there may be one or two very faint marks on the silk under-layer commensurate with its sample garment status, but I could not spot them. It would make a stunning bridal or occasion skirt, or addition to a costume wardrobe. (I have included a few images from a photo-shoot to demonstrate how lovely it is when worn). An opportunity to acquire a couture quality piece at a vastly reduced price as I now from choice very rarely make this type of garment.

 

Sizing 

These are the actual garment measurements, so please allow a small amount of ease over your particular body measurements

High waist circumference; 70.5 cms | 28"  

Waist circumference; 72 cms/ 27.5"

High hip circumference (8cms below waist); 87 cms/ 34”

Full hip circumference; 102 cms /40"

Maximum waist to hem; 107 cms / 42"

( I have left the hem unfinished for now so you can let me know at checkout your preferred finished length and I will complete before dispatching. If no preferred length is indicated I will finish at the full 42”. Please note if you do want me to shorten it there will be no extra charge, but you will not be able to return it) 

Shown on a UK size 12 tailors mannequin 

 

Skirt length options;    In order to accommodate people of varying heights I have left the length on this unfinished as I removed the rather impractical trailing train from the sample. If you would like me to shorten then please let me know how much length you want me to take out in the notes area at checkout. 

Construction The skirt has a full silk lining. 

As with all of the Pavilion Parade pieces, the quality of the finish is paramount, with French and bound seams throughout (no overlocking) to ensure both a comfortable wear and a long life. 

Care; This structured linen and silk skirt should be dry-cleaned only. 

Sustainability Every time a Pavilion Parade piece is purchased a donation is made via Ecologi to fund the planting of a tree and make a positive net contribution to combatting climate change. The trees are environmentally high value and part of gold standard schemes designed and managed to benefit local communities.

Packaging Dresses are dispatched in acid free tissue paper and recyclable cardboard boxes sealed with kraft paper eco tape. These are placed inside pouches for weather protection during transit which are made entirely from an environmentally friendly compostable bio-plastic created from sugar-cane.
