Sybil Connolly Irish Couture Hand Pleated Handkerchief Linen Evening Skirt

About the Item

Known as the Irish Couturier, Sybil Connolly is most famous for her extremely rare pleated linen clothing. She used fabrics that were produced in Ireland almost exclusively, and the linen in this skirt is an example of the quality workmanship. Each garment uses nine yards of linen to make one yard of pleated linen. This hand pleated skirt is composed of nine gores, or separate vertical sections, hand stitched together . The horizontal pleats are all hand stitched into place. This stunning bright kelly green linen skirt is lined in a matching green silk and it is all hand finished in the couture manner. All of the pleats are tight and the skirt is in excellent condition. There is a series of hooks and eyes on the waistband above the center back zipper. Measurements; Waist 26" Length 42"
