  1. cjlyall

    This skirt has an unusual technique for attaching the lining, but if you follow the instructions it makes sense. My favourite skirt I’ve made! I should have lengthened it a bit, as it is drafted for a shorter person than me. I’ll definitely be making another one, or two….

  2. rloharris

    How haven’t I left a review for this yet, it’s the best skirt in the world! I wear my denim one loads.

  3. ldmayer28

    I love this skirt. The fit is spot on as are the instructions. It’s rare to find a lined skirt which is so easy to put together….and no hand sewing required! It is the most comfy skirt I have. I made it in a linen with a cotton lining. Perfect for a hot summer Christmas Day here in Australia. There will be more.

  4. Terresa

    As always goof clear instructions, with illustrations, the pattern fits together good. I love being able to print the size I want. This is my new favorite skirt.

  5. Mel

  6. undukas

    I love the flirty flounce of this skirt! All the instructions are easy to follow and very throughout. I had no problem sewing it and I will definetely sew the second one too. Thank you!

  7. Went together smoothly in blue velveteen. Ready for Christmas!

  8. Tiina

    Very clear instructions, as usual. Fits true to size chart.

How to choose your size

  1. Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  2. Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
  3. It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
  4. If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.
