Tech. Description

Paneled Flared Skirt with Yoke and Contrast Hem

A women's flared six-panel skirt with a shaped, faced hip yoke instead of a waistband, a separately cut flounce at the hem and an invisible zip in the left side seam.

When To Wear

Office and daytime wear with a tucked-in blouse or a fitted knit top.
Spring and summer, with sandals or low-heeled shoes; in autumn with tights and boots.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted through the yoke, flaring from the hip to the hem.

Waist: Shaped yoke at front and back with no waistband. The outer yokes are interfaced; the inner yokes face the top edge, are understitched 0.2 cm from the seam, attached to the zip tapes and stitched in the ditch of the yoke seam.

Skirt: Front and back each made of a centre panel and two side panels, seams pressed towards the centre panel.

Closure: Invisible zip in the left side seam.

Finishing: A flounce cut in two pieces is joined into a ring and stitched to the lower edge of the skirt; its hem is overlocked, turned up 1 cm and topstitched. The drawing shows the flounce in a contrast colour.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Straight panel seams and an invisible zip; the faced yoke has to be finished neatly around the zip.

Fabrics made from natural fibres or natural fibres blended with synthetic ones.
