I have bought at least 50 of these skirts over the past few years...they used to be comprised of vintage sari silk...and THEY WERE GREAT!!!!! I have always returned to the same vendor, year-after-year....imagine my surprise when upon ordering 10 vintage sari skirts advertised as being largely of silk....I received 7 of 10 skirts in polyester. Paper-like polyester...crunchy, even. I collect textiles...I'm quite aware of what silk is. Disappointed. All good things must come to an end I guess.
