3.5” center back slit

3 1/4” blind hem

Maker: Unknown. No maker label. The size label frayed and is unreadable.

Condition: Good. I made discreet repair just above the center back slit and at the center front neckline. The original buckles were damaged so I replaced them with modern replacements. There is a 1.5” “lightened” spot to the front of the skirt about 10” up from hem. See photos. Freshly Hand soaked and line dried, arrives clean and ready to wear.
