This is a like new 1970's piece with sensational winged collar which looks terrific under an apt collarless 1940s or 1950s jacket such as my design houndstooth it is pictured with here.
The nap for a cotton velvet is very luxe, and the company Corty based in Krefeld which so German I think despite the 'New York' addition, appears to have specialized in garments of very 
high quality velvet in cotton & silk in the 1970s. I can find little more about them so if anyone has any information I'd be keen to know as the design and quality of this is beautiful. 
 
Garments by them can go for a lot of money in Germany that is all I know.; and rarely available.
 
It's a UK size 8.; ok for a size 6 too. Marked a German 36 which should be 10 but you know, vintage sizes were a bit smaller but may be ok for a petite 10. DM me for the measurements. 
If I was a few years younger I'd never part with it! Versatile for a 70s, 40s, 50s or a contemporary look.
Not quite a circle skirt but gives that feel more flared than an A line but not so full as a circle. The cut over the breasts is very seductive so if you've a good cleavage wow this is for 
you even make mine look good and I've a small bust! 
Fully lined.
So this could also be good for a 40s look with right accessories, and also a goth look with the spectacularly winged collar its very vampiric!
 
If you are liking the styling of it with the houndstooth jacket, vintage (early '00s) black & white fox fur collar, hat etc please talk to me, I would like these all to stay together 
as I think looks fab; so would do a very special price on the whole look.
