The Estelle Skirt with a thigh high split has a luxurious hand feel and unique texture. It features beautiful asymmetric, permanent buckle to one side in a gorgeous brushed gold finish. These have been tested for Chlorine & sea water, sunlight, and heat and was approved on all elements. Please follow the care labels for wash instructions, which are to line dry or lay flat since a tumble dry in extreme heat may cause scratches on the hardware - and the dryer! The hardware is not removable.
