Dark blue silk crepe chiffon maxi skirt designed by Arthur McGee. The skirt has a thin red silk crepe chiffon waistband with the body of the skirt heavily gathered and pleated around the bottom of the waistband. There is a slit at the proper left side waist and an opening in the waistband, which fastens with three (3) metal hook-and-eyes. The skirt is fully lined in red silk crepe chiffon, which gives a purplish hue to the skirt from the facing side. A white fabric label with black embroidered text is sewn at the interior proper left side that reads "me and mcgee / for / alba".
