In our travels through Arizona/New Mexico we came across some Navajo and Hopi women who wore their prairie skirts thick and layered. Sometimes they had on four, five or more skirts in various fabrics in solid colored cotton, Calico patterns and richly colored velvets. Some skirts were strait or tiered and others had ruffles at the bottom and some with or without fancy trims. I was amazed that they didn't burn up from the heat, but as my husband explained they do this in order to keep cooler.

This is one beautiful medium-heavy weight flocked velvet skirt made in a traditional Navajo/Hopi winter skirt style. It is newly created and has never been worn. The designer fabric is from Braemore House and is called Le Claire. It is a Polyester Patterned Velvet in a color called Lacquer. However, it's more like a Raisin Burgundy. This fabric has a soft and yet stable feel that is very durable showing a floral rose scored-down or imprinted pattern.

This is not your average JoAnn's or Hancock store fabric and was very expensive to make having come directly from the fabric designer trade. There is over six yards of material in this skirt and the price is less than what I paid for the fabric and what I paid to have it made. The skirt can be worn at reenactment events or even used for a wandering gypsy at a renaissance faire. It's a great winter skirt sure to keep one comfy and warm against cold north winds.
