Kbenco 1/20/08This skirt looks lovely. Your construction sequence sounds as if it would be quick, I will have to try it.

mm 1/20/08I have just made this one and am in the middle of making another. I like your suggestion of smaller gores.

Nancy K 1/20/08Like this in your shorter version much better than the one shown on the pattern. Looks great on you.l

nimble 1/21/08I love love your version of this skirt!! I wish the actual pattern was more like this one. Thanks for all the helpful tips.

tessiesgal 1/21/08Fantastic results. Thanks for the terrific hints on construction. I love your fabric choice.

clin 1/21/08Ruthie your skirt looks beautiful and I am so happy to see this review - I bought the pattern a long time back but was put off by the pic on the envelope - skirt looks very droopy with uneven hem - now that I see your skirt I feel I should give this one a try.

VtMartha 3/17/08What a wonderful interpretation of your inspiration photo!

SigridNL 3/17/08Love your outfit! You look great!

lilyofthevalley 3/19/08Excellent review, Ruthie, and your skirt looks positively elegant. I'm a strong advocate of a 6 gore skirt with godets, perhaps one of the most universally flattering skirts devised. And the ability to shorten or lengthen - heavenly. Love your skirt! -Lily
