Asymmetric Draped Skirt with Pintucks and Cord Ties

This women's sewing pattern introduces a midi-length skirt featuring an artfully draped front, stitched horizontal tucks, a stylish asymmetric hem and fabric ties that wrap around the waist.

When To Wear

This unique skirt is perfect for adding a touch of sophisticated flair to various occasions, making it an excellent choice for:

  • Casual Chic Outings: Effortlessly elevate everyday looks with its distinctive design and comfortable drape.
  • Semi-Formal Gatherings: Combine with a dressy top for events that call for a stylish yet relaxed ensemble.
  • Creative & Artistic Events: Express individual style with its unconventional silhouette and thoughtful detailing.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: A midi skirt with a straight, darted back and a distinctive asymmetric draped front that creates volume and movement.

Waist: No waistband: the upper edge is turned under and topstitched. Fabric ties stitched into the side seams pass through loops at the center front and center back, providing an adjustable fit and a stylish focal point.

Front Detail: The front panel showcases a dramatic asymmetric overlay, beautifully detailed with horizontal stitched tucks along the lower section, pressed downwards.

Hem: An eye-catching asymmetric hemline dips lower on the draped side, enhancing the skirt's dynamic silhouette.

Back: The back panel, shaped with darts, maintains a clean, simple line for a balanced and refined profile.

Closure: No zipper. The skirt is held by the ties that wrap around the waist; for extra security the front and back panels can be joined at the waist with snaps or buttons and loops.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. This pattern involves techniques such as stitching tucks, making ties, and managing draped fabric, making it suitable for sewers with some experience.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose fabrics with excellent draping qualities to achieve the skirt's fluid silhouette:

  • Light to medium-weight natural or blended fabrics
  • Satin, challis, crepe, or Tencel
  • Silk blends

Additional Supplies

Optional: snaps, or buttons and thread loops, to secure the panels at the waist (see the last step).

Cutter's Must

  • From main fabric:
  • Back Skirt – 1 piece
  • Front Skirt – 1 piece
  • Loop – 2 pieces
  • Tie – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

  1. Stitch the darts on the Back Skirt. Press darts towards the center of the piece.
  2. On the right side of the Front Skirt, form and stitch the tucks. Press the tucks downwards.
  3. Fold the Ties in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch along the long and short sides. Turn right side out, baste, and press. Topstitch the ties 0.1 cm from the edge.
  4. Stitch the side seams of the skirt, inserting the ties. Press seams towards the back and overlock.
  5. Press the upper seam allowance of the skirt to the wrong side, fold, and topstitch.
  6. Press the hem allowance of the skirt to the wrong side, fold, and topstitch.
  7. Overlock the edges of the Loops. Press the long edges of the loops to the wrong side and topstitch. Fold the short edges to the wrong side. Place the loops on the Front Skirt and Back Skirt at the markings and topstitch 0.1 cm from the fold.
  8. To ensure the skirt stays securely on the figure, it is recommended to perform the following steps: fold the skirt along the side seams, shift the side seams 2.0–2.5 cm towards the Front Skirt, and secure the panels together with a stitch approximately 10 cm long. Along the waistline at the fold points, secure the Front Skirt and Back Skirt together with snaps, or loops and buttons.
