Maxi Asymmetrical Denim Faux Wrap Skirt with Frayed Hem

When To Wear

In spring and autumn with T-shirts, shirts and fitted knitwear tucked in at the waist.
With ankle boots or flat shoes, so the opening at the front hem stays visible.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Narrow, straight column shaped with darts on the front and back.

Length: Maxi.

Front: Separate right and left front panels. The right front has stitched-down pleats running diagonally from the side waist, and its asymmetrical edge is topstitched onto the left front, leaving an opening towards the hem. The two fronts are held at the waist with a 2 cm bar tack.

Closure: Zip in the centre back seam.

Back: Two back panels with darts and a centre back seam.

Waist: No waistband; the waist is finished with interfaced facings, understitched 0.2 cm from the seam.

Finishing: No hem allowance: the hem and the front edge are left as a fringe, made by hand or with a fringed trim.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Darts, stitched pleats, a zip and a waist facing; the asymmetrical overlap is simply topstitched in place.

Fabric Recommendations

Denim.

Fusible interfacing (front and back facings)
