When To Wear

In summer and early autumn with a fitted top or blouse tucked in.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Flared from the hip, with the fullness concentrated in the gathered centre panel.

Length: Around the knee, longer at the point of the hem.

Waist: Sits at the waist without a waistband. The yoke is finished inside with an interfaced top facing, understitched 0.2 cm from the seam and sewn by hand to the zip tape.

Skirt: Front and back are built the same way: a right side panel, a centre panel gathered along its top edge into the yoke, and a left side panel. The lower edge of the left side panel is faced, and a gathered lower part is sewn under it; the facing is topstitched to the skirt along a marked line.

Closure: Invisible zip in the left side seam.

Finishing: Seams overlocked; hem overlocked, pressed up 1.2 cm and topstitched. Unlined.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Gathering into a yoke seam, a faced panel with a gathered frill set underneath, an invisible zip and a top facing finished to the zip tape.

Fabric Recommendations

Dress fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (left side facings, top facings)

First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need.
