fantastic twirl factor

I made the version with bias cut skirt and button closure. No alterations needed. Please note there’s no ease designed in the waistband – finished waist measurement is the same as body waist measurement, so make sure to measure accurately. There’s always some wiggle room with the closure though – either the buttons or the tie.

Something that doesn’t bother me, but I didn’t realise before making it – only one pocket is functional, at least in the view I made. The pocket where the closure is, is essentially a mock-pocket.

The fabric I used is a mid-weight wool/viscose mix crepe. I let it drop for a few days before hemming, and it did drop quite a bit. It’s always worth doing it with bias cut skirts, especially  if you’re using less stable fabrics (like viscose).

I hemmed mine with a bias tape and I think it gives a nice weight to the hemline.
