The
Travel Skirt
- We
couldn't resist this unique front-buttoning skirt and just knew you'd
love it too. It pleats up into a long flat stack, rolls up for packing,
and requires little or no ironing. The figure-flattering design is
fitted at the waist and softly skims the hips. A joy to sew, pack
and wear in light to medium weight fabrics like wool challis or wool
crepe, and dress weight silks or rayons.
