Investments Black Polishing Washable Silk or Satin Midi/Maxi Skirt
Investments (A Dillard's Private Label) · Clothing & Accessories > Skirts
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to early 2000s; identified by the specific 'Investments' font and the bias-cut minimalist silhouette popular during this timeframe.
Material
Likely a Polyester Satin or a Washable Silk blend. The sheen indicates a synthetic or high-twist natural fiber designed for durability and easy care.
Condition
Very Good. The fabric appears to have a consistent sheen without visible snagging, though there is slight distortion at the hemline which may indicate minor stretching or hangers-wear.
Demand Level
Moderate. While the brand is a standard 'bread and butter' label, the 90s slip-skirt style is currently trending on platforms like Depop and TikTok.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$15.00 - $28.00

Comparable Sales
Similar Investments skirts consistently sell in the $18-$25 range on Poshmark. NWT (New With Tags) versions can fetch up to $35.
Description
Essential vintage Investments black satin midi skirt with a flowy, slight A-line silhouette. Features an elasticized or hidden zipper waistband (check garment) for a sleek fit. This versatile piece offers a high-shine finish perfect for both professional office wear and evening styling. Approximately midi to maxi length depending on height.
Key Features
Timeless minimalist aesthetic, 'Quiet Luxury' trend appeal, versatile black colorway, easy-care fabric, and comfortable drape.
Authenticity Indicators
Standard Investments interior tags; high confidence as this is a mid-tier department store brand that is not commonly counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Look closely for 'runs' or snags in the satin weave, as these are permanent. Check for waistband elasticity loss if it is an elastic pull-on style.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay are best for this specific brand. Depop is a secondary option if styled as a 90s/Y2K vintage piece.
Selling Tips
Steam the garment thoroughly before photographing to remove wrinkles. Use keywords like 'Minimalist', '90s Style', 'Slip Skirt', and 'Satin Midi' in the title. Best sold as part of a 'Professional' or 'Classic' wardrobe capsule.
