Patti B said... Sue, good to see you sewing so much again! Perhaps this is a skirt to wear while drinking margaritas when the flirty skirt would be just the ticket? I have wondered about that aspect of this pattern. 5/21/06 12:59 PM
Ann Smith said... Yes the flowing open problem is a definite issue with this skirt. I only wore mine a few times before deciding it was annoying. Yours looks so pretty though....I'd go with the drinking margaritas plan. 5/21/06 1:43 PM
SueV said... Speaking of flirty, I was at Lowes the other day and while waiting for a palette of tiles, I was talking with one of the managers there who was flirting with me..... I was so thrilled that he was flirting with me that I didn't want the tile to come. It made me feel like I must look normal again! :) 5/21/06 2:31 PM

But as Ann pointed out - it might be a skirt to wear occassionally. I just love the look of it - I hope I can make a modification that makes it more wearable. I don't like to fuss with my clothing once I'm dressed! 5/21/06 4:47 PM
GorgeousFabrics said... I completely agree about the walking/sitting problem. I love this skirt, but it's not really practical. I made it way back when and while I keep it in the closet, I don't wear it often for precisely that reason. -Ann 5/21/06 4:54 PM

Danvillegirl said... Very helpful review. I like the skirt and if I make will remember this issue. 5/22/06 5:29 AM
Londa Rohlfing said... I agree completely - I think this is a 'sexy dancing skirt' myself. I want to use the back pieces to make a front...I love the drape of the back. 5/22/06 9:49 AM
