Danube velvet skirt

As an exception to other pieces, my skirt Danube doesn’t derive from a pattern or photo I found but from a rather precise idea that had taken form in my head in the many years I’ve been studying vintage fashion : A circular high waist skirt sculpturing a triangular silhouette with large drapes below the hips and thereby accentuating a small waist. I finally found a fabric with the right weight and stiffness: a shiny velvet fabric with a lovely checkered facing. Combined with a fitted tucked-in blouse or cropped sweater it creates a stunning silhouette and makes an incontestable vintage statement.
