Sizing: 6 to 22
Instructions: They were very easy to follow.
Likes/dislikes: I like everything about this skirt, I went to Pattern Review to check out this pattern and this review by Goodbye Valentino said it perfectly, "I really like the movement of the skirt without being too full." This pattern has several options and possibilities for several different skirts.
Fabric: woven/lycra I have had in my stash for awhile, I think I bought it at Wal-Mart
Changes: I added a lining, can't stand my skirt sticking to my tights in the winter. On the lining I added lace, just like Carolyn does (and she posted the lace in today's blogpost)
I also changed the zipper from a lapped zipper to an invisible zipper.
Conclusion: This is the first of many skirts from this pattern, I really like the fit and style. I ran short on fabric, so it might be a bit too short. Next time I am addignn 1-2".

ReplyDeletejust lovely. What did you use for the lining? Do you use "lining" or do you use tricot? I always wonder what everyone uses when they say the lined a garment.
