Beautiful Melissa, great fabric choice too and they really should pay you somekind of "royalties" from Ottobre, LOL!!!!! Marita

Thanks for reviewing this, I just traced it off this morning! I'm making mine into a summer skirt and wanted a pattern that used minimal fabric. Thanks for the heads up re sizing; I'll watch out for that.

It looks perfect, and I agree with Marita. The Ottobre people owe you.

Perfect combination of fabric and pattern! Isn't it nice to have a pattern company that works this well for you? You look fabulous in those boots, you should be on Ottobre magazines cover.

That animal print corduroy makes the skirt and I love how it goes with your boots. Ottobre's model looks frumpy and you look fabulous.

Wow!! Growl!! You knock that "stay-at-home-mom" stereotype out of the water!! Your children have a COOL Mom!! And, Melissa, YOU should have modeled for this pattern!

Wow. I never would have selected this pattern based on the magazine photo. But yours looks fantastic!

I'm just about to start on that pattern, thank you for the review! Your skirt looks absolutely fantastic! I'll check the pattern measurements vs my own body measurements, I'm glad to know it runs a bit big...
