Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a sophisticated a-line skirt, featuring a wide shaped waist yoke, inverted pleats, and a decorative buttoned placket down the front.
This versatile a-line skirt is perfect for a range of occasions, offering both comfort and elegance, making it ideal for:
Silhouette: a flattering a-line silhouette, falling gracefully to a midi length.
Waist: A wide, shaped, interfaced yoke instead of a waistband, finished on the inside with a second yoke layer.
Front: A topstitched center front placket with decorative buttons (not an opening), continuing onto the yoke, and inverted pleats that add fullness and movement; the back skirt also has inverted pleats.
Closure: Invisible zipper in the center back seam.
Hem: a classic midi length that offers refined coverage and versatility.
Intermediate. Involves techniques such as constructing inverted pleats, inserting an invisible zipper, and attaching a lined shaped yoke and a topstitched decorative placket.
Select soft, thin suiting fabrics with good drape and body to highlight the pleats and silhouette:
If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams – 1 cm, hem allowance – 2 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 pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
