I normally do not wear long skirts, I did not get on the maxi dress/skirt train. I did go with a midi length though. I wore this to work on Thursday. I like the drape of the fabric on the bias.
The skirt past the weariability test, not a lot of wrinkles. This is a rayon purchased from Fabric Mart that was in a kit to make a wrap dress by McCall's. It was called Pick Up Sticks and the little sticks remind me of that game I played a lot as a child.
Some of the bias skirts shown by Pamela at the retreat were from some gorgeous fabrics that had great drape and very flattering. I do want to make a shorter version and plan to do so toward September.
I finished a Simplicity top pattern by Cynthia Rowley. Hope to wear it soon, here it is on AlmaMarie before sleeves and bodice was hemmed.
Lovely skirt, and like you I really like that bias drape. Very nice fabric the top is made from. I thought at first it was multiple fabrics, but then realized it was a patchwork print (I think). Gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am on the lookout for some floral rayon challis to try another skirt.
DeleteI think you're right about the midi length--it hangs so well on the bias! Are you entering the tunic contest with your Tunic Bible make? I thought about it--I found some beautiful mirrored ribbon in San Francisco, but I'm on the fence with tunics as a style on me.
ReplyDeleteI am entering the contest. I tend to enter the contest and then time runs out before I complete the project. I think I may meet the deadline this time.
