Brushed Twill Skirt

March 7, 2021 By In Women's Clothes, Women's Dresses No Comments

From the Fall 1988 catalogue: “Among the many virtues of cotton twill are strength and soil resistance. Our cotton twill further distinguishes itself with a luxurious hand, as soft and velvety as doeskin. We consider this the perfect fabric for a traveling skirt: It washes well, rarely wrinkles, and can be worn over and over without showing strain. Two front pleats and a generous back vent permit comfort and mobility whether dashing off a postcard or dashing off to Cairo. An affordable standby with a first-class look.”
