Pattern Description:
Wrap around skirt.

Pattern Sizing:
6-14. I made a size 12 and it fit great without alteration.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes. I cut the shorter view (A) but it was still too long for my taste (mid- to lower-knee)

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, very. I finished the skirt in a night (2-3 hours)

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Easy to follow and put together.

Fabric Used:
A woven fabric inspired from the skirt made on Kollabora.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Shortened the skirt a few inches.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I think I would make it again. I don't have any immediate plans but I liked the pattern well enough. I don't often wear skirt because I don't think they flatter my body and I'm not super comfortable in them but this is a good wardrobe builder and each to whip together.

Conclusion:
Buy this pattern for $16.88  List Price: $22.50   Add to Bag Add to Bag
