1970s Silk Taffeta Valentino Bubble Skirt designer-patrick-kelly It is lined in that

It is lined in that same brightly hued satin - a wonderful nod to the attention paid to the details then

It has that wonderful Oriental influence of the time period and the workmanship is very fine and detailed

Waist: to 24" flat across from side seam to side seam

I love the large hip pockets that are set on top of the skirts so they become a design detail

Hand finished inside and all seams are finished French style

1970s Silk Taffeta Valentino Bubble Skirt designer-patrick-kelly It is lined in thatThis is a really unusual skirt and has a decidedly couture feel to it! You can see that trademark Valentino touch in this piece with its two layers of fullness cinched in between so that it creates to great and dramatic poufs! The taffeta has just enough weight to keep the shape and you can wear it more or less bubbled by adjusting a tie that sits under the top pouf! A very unusual piece and in mint condition!
