My mom had one (now my sister's), but I collected a couple since then too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-look-at-this-skirt#post-1307295 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:30:09 +0000 rachylou 1307295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. </p> <p>And... a very reasonable price, not to encourage you on the road to ruin or anything like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-look-at-this-skirt#post-1307272 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:11:40 +0000 MsMary 1307272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming back to say they have free returns.&nbsp; I am almost tempted to order it just to play dress-up in the house before returning it!&nbsp; LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-look-at-this-skirt#post-1307269 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:10:25 +0000 LACeleste 1307269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool. &nbsp;Reminds me of Queen of Hearts' outfit in &nbsp;Burton's&nbsp;Alice in Wonderland. &nbsp;A wonder for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-look-at-this-skirt#post-1307266 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:07:49 +0000 Jules 1307266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Diana, it's hard to believe it's really jersey watching it in the video.<br />The back reads as a train to me, which puts it in potential wedding dress territory for me - for a very non-traditional bride, obviously. But it has the presence. Would also make great opera wear. Or ooooh, maybe for&nbsp;flamenco???

Where they follow a very exceptional violin through the ages and the many different owners? &nbsp;I bet a skirt like that could have a similar story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wow-look-at-this-skirt#post-1307222 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:31:27 +0000 Diana 1307222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks so cool. I find it odd that it's jersey though.
