Step back into mid-century boutique luxury with this stunning, one-of-a-kind handmade maxi skirt. This incredible piece was originally purchased from The Briar Patch, a historic and highly celebrated upscale boutique formerly located on Signal Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Known for its exceptional local craftsmanship and custom tailoring, garments from this boutique are highly collectible pieces of regional fashion history. With its massive visual presence, vibrant colors, and five intricate quilt-block medallions, this skirt doubles as an exceptional piece of textile art. It makes a magnificent, eye-catching display piece for a vintage boutique, shop window, or retro fashion exhibit. Good vintage condition. The bright orange cotton fabric remains highly vibrant, and the intricate Dresden Plate applique needlework is beautifully intact.

All flaws are minor & do not impact the structural integrity, and largely get lost in the dramatic scale, flare, and vibrant color of the skirt. They are clearly documented in the photos for full transparency. As this is a delicate, handmade vintage item, we highly recommend gentle hand washing in cold water and air drying, or professional dry cleaning. this item is being sold as a historical display piece.
