What a coincidence: I was admiring this very skirt on the BWOF website, and clicked back to PR to find your review of it. After reading your review and seeing the wonderful result, I'm definitely planning to make this one! I imagine your daughter will love it--the style is unique. And, as you say, she could easily make this even more so by pairing it with some colored tights and boots.

That's a beautiful skirt. I hope it works out as planned. Certainly looks like a lot of work. You did a great job.

The skirt looks fantastic. Maybe your DD will send a photo that you can share of herself wearing her new stylish skirt.

The skirt looks awesome! A wardrobe basic with some flare. I bet your daughter is going to love it..and ask for a couple more. :)

Thanks for a great review! I have wanted to make this skirt ever since I got my BWOF magazine a week ago. I've been searching for the metallic crinkled poplin they suggested. I'm a bit scared of the topstitching myself!

I thought this was a cute skirt in the magazine, the real thing definitely lived up to my expectations. Hope your daughter likes it after all that topstitching!

I love this style skirt, and yours really looks great. Interesting to read how the topstitching is done.

Beautiful skirt. I like the style (but can't wear it). Your topstitching came out well.

Great job Birgitte! I was just looking a this skirt. What stitch did you use for the top stitching? It looks a bit different from a straight stitch (or may be I am seeing something that is not there, LOL).

Thanks for all your comments! Sewingfluffinator (I love that name), it's just a regular straight stitch set to length 3 instead of the pre-set 2.5.

You are such a nice mom to make this for her with all the topstitching! Love the way it turned out.

So cute. I noticed this style too and thought the belt was such a great touch. Lucky daughter! My mother never sent me anything while I was in boarding school! She's going to love it.
