Skirt id

[thedecorouscat]

Hi everyone. I’ve combed through the fabric ID page but I can’t decide what fabric this skirt is made of, which is making me waffle on its date. It’s a pretty light, crinkly material, kind of like chiffon. You can hear it rustling when you twirl and is semi sheer. There are no labels inside. It reminds me of the type of skirt that was big in the early 90s but I’d love to hear what others have to say.
What fabric do you think this is and any thoughts on dating?

I see what you mean about the skirt... Does it kind of sit on the hip? No waistband?

Yes, sits high but no waistband.

it looks like you have the zip to the back in your photos? try it with the zip to the side, it may "sit" better that way.

I agree with Mary, try the zip to the left side.

Oh jeez.. yeah I do. That’s what I get for throwing clothes on for a photo after working a double. Don’t photograph without coffee.

Any guesses on the fabric?

Youn could try and do a burn test to find out more about fibre content: https://vintagefashionguild.org/determining-fiber/ This is not something that could be told from these images unfortunately.

You can hear it rustling when you twirl...

I love that, twirling is such a joyous thing!

Can you take a clear close up of the fabric? a zoomed in shot?

Is it a twill weave (like a tartan)?
