1980s Matsuda Drape Men's Suiting Skirt Guest Editor Anita Clarke! The Bodice is cut simplyThis early Matsuda skirt is genius and both weird and wonderful! The unusual fabric choice is a pinstriped men's suiting and the construction is equally unusual. The panels are draped and twisted around themselves creating elegant folds and curves. This gives the hem an organic, asymmetrical feel. The back of the skirt has a men's suit vest like gathering with a high notched waist detail there. Excellent condition Waist: 12" from side seam to side
