figtree said... Hi, I saw this as a pin stripe and I'm so glad to see it made up that way. I also thought maybe stitching down the folds would work, glad to see it did, I might just have to give it a try! Thank you! 8/24/08 4:09 AM
Natasha B said... I loved this skirt and was disapointed to see the previous reviews. I love your version and may still try to work up the courage to have a go! Yours looks great! 8/24/08 5:12 AM

Catbird said... I love the way this looks with the stripes. It reminds me of 1940s styling, which I think was one of our best fashion decades! Great job. 8/24/08 1:07 PM

Karen6790 said... I love the effect the striped fabric gives with the pleats, though I agree that making it in a solid would show off the design. Nothing wrong with making two of a good pattern - I'm guilty of that myself. Now I need to pull out my May issue and look at this pattern again. Thanks for the review. 8/24/08 9:53 PM
HLT said... Very nice skirt. Love how the pinstripes merge. Looks couture & classic at the same time. Great job! 8/24/08 10:22 PM
Ciclista said... Very striking. I'm glad you perservered in light of the other reviews; as I love your skirt and now one to give this one a try. 8/25/08 9:02 AM
Marji said... it's very pretty - love the way the stripe accentuates the movement of the grainline. 8/25/08 9:04 AM
Lisa Laree said... This pattern has intrigued me as well; good to know there are options in dealing with the pouf factor. I love the striped fabric...that really highlights the design elements! (and I have some black and white stripe in the stash...) 8/26/08 9:10 AM
