review of this item.
Unique and hard to find clothing for the ultra hip modern gypsies and hippies who dance to the beat of their own drum. I shop the major clothing shows on the West Coast to select the funkiest clothing I can find. Most are manufactured in 3rd world countries. I try to be selective: No child labor, and maybe pay a little more for top notch quality. I bring you only what I'd wear myself. No dusty warehouse sale stuff and I promise you, you'll never get someone's mistake! All is new with tags, hand selected by me!

A couple of notes before I get started. First and most important is you have your choice of size here. But you will need to email me straight away after close of the sale to tell me what size (Small or Extra Large) you want so I don't relist and your size gets swooped up.
I'm
listing measurements for each size we have available below.
Secondly,
every time seasons change and I put together sets i get bombarded with questions
asking "can I just buy the skirt" or "will you sell the top separately" or
better yet, the poor gals who need a different size top and bottom. So for this
round of summer stuff I'm trying something different. I'm listing these as
separates. It's been a good idea so far, as you can see from the limited choices.
Ok, so now let me get down to brass tacks. This is 100% heavy
stone washed rayon crepe. The stone washing softens up the heavy crepe giving it
an incredible "hang". What a great color this is! The close up is closest to
true, it's a celery or springy green. But when you think celery, don't think
"day glo". It's not. But if you love green, you'll love this color. It's fab and very "Springy".
But that's not all. It's got some great texture and piecing, too. Then of course
it's "swoopy" and if you look at the picture you can see every panel at the
bottom is rounded-- so that's what gives this one the "swoop" and long--short
look we love so much.
It starts with an elastic waist with an added
shiny cord tie. The panels are vertically pieced and the two very middle panels
have a sort of matte jacquard texture to them. The panel on either side of the 2
front panels are the plain stonewashed crepe. But wait! That's not all. Each
front panel has tasteful vertical flower and leaf embroidery. Since it's mainly
done in that same celery color it's just tasteful, not eye popping. And each
panel has the embroidery-- front and back! Attached to the swoopy bottom of
each panel is a gerogette ruffle piece with chikan embroidery (like eyelet but
without the holes) and then some fab teensy "s" trim in celery to complete the
fab look. So as you can see, the bottom is nice and full and yet uneven. A
perfect spinny festival skirt.
You have your choice of Small or
Extra Large. Sizing and cut is pretty versatile though. Check the measurements if you wear a M or L. You can easily wear one of these.
Again, this
is natural rayon. This type feels like really heave stonewashed
crepe.
***MEASUREMENTS ***
PLEASE NOTE I TAKE ALL MY MEASUREMENTS WITH THE GARMENT FLAT AND
MEASURED ACROSS THE FRONT (unless otherwise noted)
***SMALL***
WAIST: 14" unstretched and
stretches to 21" comfortably--about 22" max so you don't lose the "drape" of the
fabric.
Hips: 28" across the front--measurement taken about 10" down from
waistband.
The bottom, measuring above the ruffle is 42" across, but truly
there is going to be way more spin than the total 84" because of the way it's
pieced and the ruffle at the bottom.
Length: Varies from about 33" to 36" --
it's uneven
***EXTRA LARGE***
WAIST: 17" unstretched and stretches to 24"
comfortably--about 25" max so you don't lose the "drape" of the fabric.
Hips: 31" across the front--measurement taken about 10" down from
waistband.
The bottom, measuring above the ruffle is 44" across, but truly
there is going to be way more spin than the total 88" because of the way it's
pieced and the ruffle at the bottom.
Length: Varies from about 34" to 37" --
it's uneven
These are new. Because I split up the sets, the tops have hang tags but the skirts do not. I promise they are new.
