Pattern Description: A high waisted skirt with front gathers, back darts, centre back invisible zipper, wide waistband and fitted hemline. A great wardrobe staple!

Pattern Sizing:On the size chart, I measured between an S and an M. I sewed up the S.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Mine didn't look as short or as tight as the skirt on the model.

Were the instructions easy to follow?Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Comfortable, cute skirt.

Fabric Used:Cotton from the Lisette 2012 Spring range, available at Joanne and Spotlight stores.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I did add some length to the sides, to account for my pear shape, which is my usual alteration. I added it to the top of the skirt portion, below the yoke.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I have loved this skirt and worn it heaps. Now that I have seen a photo of it, I am not so sure?

Conclusion: Great casual skirt.
