A great addition to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe. This authentic 1970s skirt by independent boutique label 'Sassy Garment' beautifully balances tactile luxury with a dynamic, geometric silhouette.
Made the UK, the skirt features a fabulous chevron aligned pattern composed of vertical stripes in rich, plush velvet muted jewel tones of plum, slate blue, warm golden camel, and midnight black. Woven between the velvet pile are delicate, shimmering gold metallic lurex pinstripes that catch the light beautifully with every movement, making it a seamless transition piece from elevated daywear to evening glamour.
The clever A-line cut utilizes a bias-cut perfect chevron alignment down the center back and front seams, creating an incredibly flattering, elongating drape. Fully lined for comfort, this rare piece offers the structure, weight, and quality typical of mid-century British manufacturing.
It is made from a premium heavy-weight velour blend (65% Triacetate, 33% Polyester, 2% Metallic)and is fully lined in fluid, non-cling black nylon.
It has a 1inch wide tailored waistband and an invisible/concealed 6inch side zip with a hook clasp on the waistband.
It is in excellent vintage condition. The velvet pile is exceptionally plush with no crush marks, balding, or pulling to the metallic threads. It can be hand or machine washed per the care label.
For a sophisticated daytime look, pair this textural masterpiece with a tucked-in cream cashmere turtleneck and knee-high leather boots. To lean into its evening appeal, style it with a black silk camisole, a sharp tailored blazer, and minimalist gold jewelry to echo the subtle lurex weave.
The skirt is labelled a Size 18. We estimate this would fit a current UK Size 12/14. However please see exact measurements below for the best fit.
