The fullness is pulled toward the back and cartridge pleated. There is a slit pocket on the left side front of the skirt. The footing is graded, being narrow in the front and becoming much deeper in back. The hem is proctected with a silk hem braid which falls 1/2" below the lower edge.The skirt wraps across the front and closes with a hook and eye at the side.
