The haunting melody of Saint-Saens's entrancing Danse Macabre (Op. 40) fills the air of this super-soft skater skirt. Representatives from all walks of life - elder, child, clergy, shepherd, knight - follow Death's song to the grave. Each figure is a piece of history, pulled from Hans Holbein's woodcuts of the "Dance of Death," a French tradition meant to remind each of us that we will die. To further emphasize this reminder, "memento mori" or "remember you will die" repeats across the waistband in stark red against a black background.
This skirt, with its muted but suspenseful colors, is perfect for spooky season or everyday wear for music lovers and musicians, philosophers, history lovers, and fans of Saint-Saens and Hans Holbein.
The skirt itself is the softest of its kind. Its flare-cut, mid-thigh length, and elastic waistband will make it one of the comfiest pieces in your closet. The flattering silhouette looks great on any body type.
