Silk Damask Skirt: Faded Coral

Description

A full skirt with deep slanted side pockets. The  fullness is cartridge pleated by hand onto an internal waist stay. The fullness can be emphasised by wearing with a petticoat, or left relaxed by wearing on its own. 
Closes at side with concealed zip with silk tassel tag.
Hand felled deep hem. 
Created from a long length of romantic antique French silk and cotton damask that has no doubt spent the last century or so dressing a rather grand window, with the areas of sun fading and gentle surface wear one would expect from a textile with such history. This is one for lovers of timeworn antique textiles, and it presents beautifully, shimmering and changing colour in different lights, sometimes a lustrous coral, sometimes a pale terracotta, according to the time of day.
Fully lined with a toning colourful printed silk.

Sizing As the fit of all these garments is meant to be relaxed it provides some flexibility on sizing.

I have designated this a small size. It is graded to a UK 10
Shown pinned to fit on a size UK8 mannequin.

I have given the actual garment measurements below so it is very important you ascertain for yourself how it will work with your own measurements. Remember to allow an amount of room over your particular body measurements where appropriate.

Waistband circumference; 28” / 72 cms 

Waistband top to finished hem 34” / 87 cms

 Construction  

As with all of the Pavilion Parade Vestments 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.

Each of these pieces is created from vintage or antique 100% natural fibres. The design is very considered, with the cut engineered to make the best use of the textile.  I will spend some hours before cutting trying out different pattern layouts to ensure the most pleasing finished effect. 

Care;   Dry clean only

The ingredients Please be aware that these unique pieces are created from vintage textiles, which have had a previous life, so consequently there may be the odd very minor smudge or tiny catch to the surface of the fabric. Sometimes with antique textiles there are areas of gentle wear, commensurate with age. These in no way impinge on their beauty, and you can be sure that they do not compromise the integrity of the material. 

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  Garments 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.
