1970s Black Silk Chiffon Skirt

Judging by the popularity of shows like Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance?, we have to believe that we are not alone in our mesmerizing awe of ballroom dancing. Everything from the lighter than air costumes, to the hunky male partners leaves us hankering to sign up at the nearest Arthur Murray Studio.  Needless to say, the last dance craze that had us actually doing that was the Hustle, after seeing Saturday Night Fever, and we have a pretty strong feeling that our dancing skills have not improved since then. But even if you can't actually dance on air, you can sure as hell dress the part, and there is nothing like silk chiffon to do the trick.  A gossamer veil of black chiffon floats over a layer of china silk, cascading from an eased waist to a lettuce edge finished hem  - this skirt will instantly make you walk tall and lithe. Side zip closure and a  hook at the waistband. Waist measures 31", length 28". Made in England by Les Lansdown, it also carries a Neiman-Marcus label and is in excellent condition.  $165
