The contrast is just what I like with this skirt! I find the colours much better chosen than the example on the patternpage. So go for it! Why not sew something matching for it? Black tee with cream neckband or such?

thanks morzel. I have some of both fabrics left over, and was considering using them to make a top. I was thinking of Vogue 8393 View C, with the upper part in cream, just as you suggest.

High contrast is high style.. great skirt... Great selection & execution. Wear it.. it is fabulous! So perfect for a little summer sizzle.

I think it's excellent! Sometimes contrast works better in theory, other times better in person; and while I don't think I'm adventurous enough to have thought to put black and white together, I think the result is much more striking and fantastic than a lesser contrasting pair. Kudos! It looks lovely on you.

I love the drama of the high contrast. This is a beautiful skirt.

Lovely skirt - the contrast is very striking, but tasteful! Choosing linen for the fabric was truly inspired!

Great skirt. I bet it will look flattering when you walk in it. It will have movement and style.

I think the high contrast is what makes this skirt great. I'd definitely wear it with some cute strappy heels. If I had the ability to mix like that, I'd do it more often- wear it with a little attitude;) it's very fashionable.

To be honest I wasn't sure at first about the contrasting fabrics but when I saw your photo album I was convinced. This is fantastic - you should really wear it.

That is a smashing skirt! I love the flare of the hem, and I think the contrast really flatters the figure.

Lovely clear and detailed photographs really enhance this review. Especially as most of us sewers are visual people. Well Done!
