El Morocco Skirt.

54th Street, New York.

Where the stars danced to Gershwin and Porter, dined under white palms, framed by the celebrated zebra-striped banquettes in, perhaps, the most celebrated nightclub in the world.

You might have seen this number on the dance floor, transforming itself from a well-behaved perfect little black skirt to something that could cause a blasé William Powell to put down his martini.

Vintage 40's El Morocco Slit Skirt (No. 2541). Satin lined lower calf length in the perfect silk georgette to give it drape and flow. Lining stops at those 4 strategically placed slits, 2 in front and 2 in back that open incrementally as you move.

Those top pleats, 15 in all, give the skirt elegance. Leg action gives it attitude.

To say it's a nice walking skirt would be like saying Picasso is a nice painter.

Women's sizes: 2 through 18. Imported.

Color: Black.

Diamond Shaped Marcasite Earrings (No. 2475), Marcasite is a very beautiful iron pyrite that once, a long time ago, went into the making of very beautiful period jewelry.

The only thing wrong with marcasite was that people could afford it. So it was promptly discontinued.

I've decided to fly in the face of reason and bring it back. I'm hoping you'll like it.

1" wide and drop 1 3/4" from your earlobe. Imported.
