Pattern Description:
Incredibly flattering high waisted A-line skirt with fitted waistline. Features button front placket, wide waistband, large scoop pockets and pleating in the front and back.

Pattern Sizing:
XS-XL Hip size 36 -44, I cut a L
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Well I'm not 6ft tall and I made the skirt 3inches longer so my skirt covers my knees.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy, the instructions are really clear.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like high waist button front skirts so this was just up my street.

Fabric Used:
A swirly print corduroy.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I added 3 inches to length and a lining.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will make another one probably for the summer.
Conclusion:
A nice skirt, it's very comfortable to wear. See My blog for more pictures.
