coloreyec said... Now I must have this pattern. Hope it works well on my short body - I do love fuller, floaty skirts but often they tend to make me look much shorter and wider. 4/7/07 5:01 PM
Elemenopeo said... This really looks fantastic on you - I like the fabric you used for it. 4/7/07 5:03 PM
carolynw said... Very beautiful - am getting this pattern for sure. On a trip through a Department store today (kind of high end) saw a similar skirt to what the model is wearing - are you sitting down - $225.00!!
Knew I wanted to make one but couldn't think of a pattern right off the top of my head - thanks a million for bringing this to my attention. 4/7/07 5:40 PM
Tonya said... Clin, this skirt probably cost me less than $10 total. The fabric was $1.88 a yard on clearance, the lining was well-aged stash, the ribbon was 74 cents, the zipper was also well-aged stash (I *never* sew anything pink). The pattern was even "free" - I got it with the purchase of my steamer at the Expo!
That's what I mean by this skirt being the future of sewing. It looks so high-end, but in reality, you can make it on the cheap and make it *fit*. It's really a great pattern! 4/7/07 5:56 PM

quilter55 said... Your skirt is awesome and very flattering! I met you at the Expo and have been wondering how you like the steamer you bought?? Is it worth what it cost? Susan from Ga. 4/7/07 9:06 PM

carolynw said... Tonya: I immediately went to the Sewing Place to get the pattern but it was not shown so had to go directly to Sillhoutte - they have 10 new patterns coming out to celebrate an anniversary. Ordered it straight off - thanks again and all those who want to order may find they have to go the route I did. 4/8/07 8:56 AM

AnneM said... I would have thought the same thing with that description (one piece of fabric an lots of pleats, vs. one pattern piece and lots of gores). I'm always a sucker for gored skirts anyway! 4/20/07 7:51 PM
