This skirt has a fairly stiff fabric (taffeta), I needed something simple but fine. It has to come down to my waist but no further.
I've looked for ideas in the last Burda magazine I bought during my last trip in France (I still haven't started buying English patterns, which means it takes me ages to explain what I would like to do when I shop for fabric).
I found a wrap-around shirt and I found a fantastic popeline. The old lady who helpded me finding it dubbed it as "wonderful", I will agree it is a pleasure to pin and cut.
Right, pattern is cut (I cheat and use a ruler to trace most of the lines). I think CAD software for pattern making must do something very similar
I have cut 8 pieces:
- back (in the fabric fold)
- side front x 2
- front x 2
- side backx 2
- collar (in the fabric fold)
- sleeve front x 2
- sleeve back x 2
- tiedr x 2
- a bias
