Culottes

From the Spring 1988 Catalogue: “A house divided cannot stand, but a skirt divided equals a pair of culottes, which will stand up to nearly any situation in which modern women find themselves. Our culottes multiply the benefits of both skirt and trousers, combining the modesty of the former and mobility of the latter. They’re made of lightweight, pigment-dyed cotton twill, washable in pensione sink or local laundry. Waist and hips are trimly tailored, with roomy, gracefully bisected pleats beneath. A garment that adds up to far more than the sum of its parts.”
