Pattern Description:
Very close-fitting, below waist pull-on skirt has elastic waist with contrast facing, pleats, front extending to side back, no side seams and right side back slit. Self bias binding finishes hem.

Pattern Sizing:
Against my better judgment I cut a size 18 which was closest to my measurements and it was huge! I trimmed it down to a 16 and it was still a little roomy, so I probably ended up btwn a 14 and 16.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, I think so.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes.


What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the originality of the design and that it's very easy to sew.

Fabric Used:
Stretch Denim.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I lowered the pleats in the back panel 1" so they fell closer to where my actual butt was and then eliminated the 2 top pleats for a smoother fit at the small of my back. Like other reviewers I used purchased contrast bias binding to finish the seams.V1282 Guts

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will sew this again! It's quick to make, uses very little fabric and is comfortable on. Will probably make a shorter version next.

Conclusion:
With modifications this skirt fits surprisingly well and was a quick make.
Buy this pattern for $24.00  List Price: $32.00   Add to Bag Add to Bag

Thanks. This is the first stretch denim version I've seen. I like that it looks both unique and yet you can get a lot of casual wear out of it too. Smart and lovely choice!

lindam50 Thank you for the helpful review of this skirt. I've made the top and planned to make the skirt with another matching top.
