Skirt

Skirt

Striped cotton rectangular skirt from the Philippines. The skirt is two equal sized pieces of fabric which has been joined in the center by hand stitched yarn. The fabric's warp is patterned in stripes of red yellow beige white and navy with navy red and biege being predominant. The weft is navy blue. The edges are hand stitched with a blanket stitch in varying segments of red black and orange wool yarn. The same black and red wool yarn is used in an alternating pattern to join the two cotton fabric pieces. Some of the hand stitching is fraying. There are a few small stains on the fabric.
