Based on it's condition I would be willing to bet that it's been living in an attic for the last 40 years.

Skirt with a side zipper |
This skirt had a side zipper and was partially lined. If it was made of wool or scratchy material I would have saved the lining. This polyester beauty was soft, so I left the lining out.

Elastic waist |
I folded over the top and made an elastic waistband.
