1960s Unlabelled Red & Green Plaid Silk Taffeta Ruffle Skirt Labeled and Designer Fully lined in a silver

Fully lined in a silver toned silky rayon and closes with a back painted metal zipper

The slubbed silk adds texture and the color has a hint of pink - not fully conveyed here in these photos but very pretty in person

The duo behind the La Mendola label met in Rome in 1960 and started their business making dresses and selling them one by one

What I lvoe most about them though is the fact that they are semi-transparent and left unlined except for a built in "hot pants" at the very top of them

Length: 66" from shoulder strap to hem

1960s Unlabelled Red & Green Plaid Silk Taffeta Ruffle Skirt Labeled and Designer Fully lined in a silverThis is a dramatic and bold skirt made out of a fine silk taffeta. Silk from this period was some of the finest in the world and this one is no exception. The silk has a slight sheen to it and a is covered with a bold green, red and black checked plaid pattern that is a fantastic. The waist band is fitted and the cut skims over the hips and then at the hem has a wide 10" ruffle that gives it the perfect finish. Really pretty and chic. Excellent
