A-Line Skirt with Asymmetrical Front Hem

When To Wear

In spring and summer with a tucked-in blouse or a fitted top that shows the yoke line.
For the office or an evening out with a short jacket and heels.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted through the waist band and yokes, flaring into an A-line below.

Length: About knee length, with points hanging lower at the front and at the back.

Waist: Wide interfaced waist band without a separate waistband, cut double so that the inner layer serves as a facing; topstitched 0.5 cm from the top edge and from the band seam.

Front: V-shaped front yoke; the right and left front halves are attached to the yoke and joined to each other by a seam below it, which gives the asymmetrical front.

Back: V-shaped back yoke over a one-piece back panel.

Closure: Zip in the left side seam, the facing hand-stitched to the zip tape.

Finishing: 3 cm hem, overlocked, turned and machine-stitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Pointed yoke seams with clipped allowances, joining two front halves to a V-yoke, a faced waist band and a side zip.
