This skirt is a very dark navy blue and it has an A-line shape although not a traditional A-Line. It has a set on waistband which buttons in the front. There are in total 4 buttons and button holes at the front, although it is a step in style of skirt, much like it would be with a zipper in the front. It is a long skirt. If you are petite it is floor length, but for a regular length person it is calf length. It is 34 inches in length. The skirt is 100% silk and must be dry cleaned according to the care label. I like the quality of the fabric. It has been in a smoke free home. The waist is about 30 inches. I don't think it has ever been worn, or dry cleaned and there are no marks or stains. This transaction is exempt from Pennsylvania Sales Tax. Thanks for stopping by!
