Made from a durable linen-viscose blend in a gorgeous shade of burnt orange, and boasting dual tortoise shell button and zip closure at the front, a high-waistline with belt loops, and handy side pockets, this darling A-line pleated skirt is going to become a favorite to mix and match with your retro-chic collection year-round. Shell: 55% Linen, 45% Viscose. Contrast: 100% Cotton. Machine wash. Side pockets. Unlined. Front zipper with button closure.
