Pattern Description:
Some fraction of a circle skirt

Pattern Sizing:
(8-10-12-14-16) or (16-18-20-22); I cut a 16.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Mostly

Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions were fine.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved the opportunity to use a plaid and match nicely to get chevrons.

Fabric Used:
Acrylic suiting? from Fabric.com--this was a big problem. I think I used the wrong fabric, so I ended up with an icky mess. The skirt just doesn't feel good.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Nothing except making the skirt significantly shorter than the shortest size

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I probably won't sew this again because it is just terribly unflattering on me.

Conclusion:
I really do not like how this pattern looks on me, but I think it is because circle skirts are just not very flattering on me. They seem to emphasize my love handles more than I would like. You can see more pictures on my blog.
