Hilary said... I love your skirt! It looks beautiful, so summery! I've been wondering how this pattern works up, now I have added it to my wishlist. Thanks for the tip on the hip/waist snugness, and serging for the hem. Great review! 3/14/05 2:26 PM
tigger said... Love the skirt! I recently made a New Look skirt that had the same 'barely over the hips' limitation that you talk about - like you said - once on it's fine.
I've been thinking of trying this skirt since it's new so now I suppose I'll have to add it to my large pile of projects to make! 3/14/05 3:04 PM

Peggy L said... Really cute skirt! Thanks for the waistline tip. I am on the lookout for a couple of skirts that don't look "frumpy"! How long is this on you?? 3/14/05 4:16 PM
amadoofus said... Beautiful skirt! I'm doing a Kwik Sew dress for my daughter--according to the pattern measurements, she should've been a shoe-in for a small. So I made a mock-up of a small and had to use a shoe horn to get it on her! So I made the medium, and now I have to take it in in places, because it's a little too large! Ah well!! 3/14/05 6:05 PM
AnneM said... Pretty skirt; like your fabric choices (despite the static problem). It pays to read the directions on this pattern, it sounds like. Although hard to get on, at least you don't have a lot of bulk at the waistline! 3/15/05 4:44 AM
MickeyFan said... Thank you everyone for your comments. Peggy L., the high part of the hemline is just below my knee. The low part is just below mid calf - or so. This skirt definitely doesn't feel frumpy and as AnneM pointed out, although tricky to get on, it is not bulky at the waist. 3/15/05 6:22 AM

Nice looking skirt! I've edited this comment as I misinterpreted in regard to the underskirt length in my original.
