{"product_id":"2003-ralph-lauren-collection-runway-pinstripe-skirt-with-braces","title":"2003 Ralph Lauren Collection Runway Pinstripe Skirt with Braces","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis runway documented skirt was designed by Ralph Lauren for the Spring 2003 ready-to-wear collection. An identical skirt opened the show, worn by supermodel Natalia Vodianova with its striped braces over a crisp white shirt. It bears the purple Ralph Lauren Collection label associated with the house’s luxury womenswear and the design follows earlier interpretations of classic menswear, reworking pinstripes, tailored pencil shapes and braces into a distinctly feminine silhouette - pictured here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the USA, the skirt is tailored from substantial cream cotton worked with alternating black and grey stitched pinstripes. It has a high-waisted pencil silhouette, falling straight through the hips with a slit at the back for ease of movement. The front fastens with a concealed zip and silver-tone metal button and there are front pockets :-)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly distinctive are the blue, black and cream striped braces, which attach to metal buttons inside the waistband with rich leather tabs. These have naturally aged from their original pale colour to an even cream tone. The braces can also be removed to wear the skirt as a more conventional pencil style. The skirt is beautifully finished and fully lined in cream satin woven throughout with “Ralph Lauren Collection”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent vintage condition; the cotton, lining and metalwork present beautifully; the only notable sign of age is the even mellowing of the leather brace tabs to cream, which we do not consider detrimental. Labelled a US size 2, approximately a UK 6, and 100% cotton. The fabric has no stretch so please refer to the sizing information below to ensure the best fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWAIST - 30 in.
