No one else will have this. The best part of vintage, recycling clothing creates less impact on our planet through less demand and less waste, and doesn't add to fast fashion!

I believe that this fabric is silk because of the sheerness and uneven weave. It has a satiny like quality but the feel is that of an extremely thin wool. Another possibility is viscose, or "fake silk". It's a lovely fabric either way and the pleating in the skirt is somewhat permanent. The embroidery is missing a few minor stitches under the left bust on over the right shoulder but you'd have to really inspect it to see.
