A striking women's sewing pattern for a flared skirt, distinguished by its unique scalloped yoke and gored construction, offering both elegance and graceful movement.

When To Wear

This versatile skirt is designed for a range of occasions, making it an ideal choice for:

  • Work & Everyday Chic: Paired with blouses or sweaters for a polished office look or stylish daily wear.
  • Smart Casual Gatherings: An elegant choice for brunches, dinners, or semi-formal events.
  • Seasonal Styling: Versatile for year-round wear, adapting effortlessly to various tops and footwear.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: A flattering A-line silhouette with a gentle flare, achieved through multiple gored panels for elegant movement and drape.

Waist: Features a fitted, high-rise waistband that provides a defined waistline and a classic finish.

Yoke: A distinctive scalloped yoke forms the upper section of the skirt, creating a unique and elegant design element at the hip.

Closure: Secured with a discreet zipper closure at the side seam, complemented by a single button-and-buttonhole detail on the waistband.

Length: Offers a versatile length that can fall gracefully around the knee or mid-calf, depending on personal preference.

Construction: The skirt body is crafted from six individual gores (panels) that attach seamlessly to the scalloped yoke, ensuring a structured yet flowing shape.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires skills in working with curved seams, inserting zippers, creating buttonholes, and attaching a structured waistband.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose medium-weight woven fabrics with some body to hold the flare and yoke shape beautifully:

  • Wool blends
  • Gabardine
  • Tweed
  • Heavy cotton sateen
  • Brocade

Additional Supplies

  • Fusible interfacing for the waistband
  • One zipper
  • One button

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: dress fabrics in natural or blended fibres. Also needed: fusible interfacing; 1 invisible zip; 1 button for the waistband.

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance 1.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching the pieces together, make sure the notches match!

  • From main fabric:
    • Back yoke – 1 piece
    • Front yoke – 2 pieces
    • Skirt gore – 6 pieces
    • Waistband – 1 piece
  • From fusible interfacing:
    • Waistband – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

  1. Reinforce the waistband piece with fusible interfacing.
  2. Overlock the upper edges of the gores. Overlock the lower edge of the back yoke. Attach the gores to the back yoke (start and end stitching precisely at the marked gore joining line), press the seam allowances open. Stitch the gores together, press the seam allowances open and overlock.
  3. Overlock the lower edge of the front yoke. Attach the gores to the front yoke (start and end stitching precisely at the marked gore joining line), press the seam allowances open. Stitch the gores together, press the seam allowances open and overlock.
  4. Overlock the left side edges separately on each piece. Stitch the left side seam from the zipper mark to the bottom. Press the seam allowances open. Insert the zipper. Stitch the right side edge, press the seam allowances open and overlock.
  5. Fold the waistband lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch the short sides and the transitional end, clip the allowances at the mark. Turn the waistband right side out, press. Attach the outer side of the waistband to the skirt, fold the allowance of the inner side inwards and topstitch into the attaching seam.
  6. Overlock the bottom edge of the skirt, press it to the wrong side and topstitch.
