Buy the TPC17 Drape Hem Skirt sewing pattern from Trend Patterns. The Drape Hem Skirt has been inspired by the catwalk trends seen in New York, London, Milan and Paris. The ongoing asymmetric hem trend has evolved into handkerchief style skirts, attached to straight or pencil shapes. This is a perfect example.

beautiful and unique pattern

This was a great pattern, and made up into a super-interesting skirt which in the plaid I used gave a kind of Vivienne Westwood vibe. It is a basic pencil skirt at the top with darts in the front and back with a waistband and an invisible zipper. The back is a normal pencil skirt and the ingenious front drape is an l-shaped piece which connects to the lower side of the back, along the angled front, and down the lower side seam of the other side of the back. I lined the upper skirt, and the back piece and not the drape panel. It was a little difficult getting the front drape piece to match up, and this company’s patterns assume a certain level of dressmaking knowledge. However, I hadn’t sewed a skirt in 20 years, and have never been an expert sexist (though I’m getting better!) and I managed it. I love TPC for their very fashion-forward designs and I had a LOT of complements on this skirt. I am planning to make it again in a fuchsia wool twill, as this was a wearable toile. I made a size 12UK based on my measurements, but I will grade to 14 in the seat next time. I definitely recommend!
