Sue Parrott said... This is such an interesting skirt and I have to say I never thought about omitting the tie. The drape and fit are wonderful! Nice work! 6/23/12 9:17 AM
chenille said... Thanks! I've just been catching up with posting reviews. It has been such a big help to me to read reviews of patterns before buying/sewing that I wanted to contribute too!
I still want to conquer pant fitting because it's like winter for most of the year up here! 6/23/12 3:40 PM

gsp1066 said... You and your skirt look fabulous. Did you make your top knit top, too?
I just made the bias T in this pattern out of leftover linen and jersey. I love it. This pattern is a winner.
It hadn't occurred to me that you can omit the tie and the skirt still stays up. Now I will make the skirt, too. 6/26/12 12:44 PM
chenille said... gsp - omitting the tie gives allows you more choices as to the kind of top you wear. I have a royal blue cowl top - shirred and very fitted that when paired with this skirt makes it look very evening. I did end up with an elastic waist - but when I make this again, I'll be playing with waistline to find a way to omit the elastic and make the upper section fitted.
I want to see your top! Did you interface it as per the instructions? 6/27/12 9:32 PM
