\"simplicity-2058-skirt\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I finished this skirt last week. \u00a0My default styling is to pair a print like this with black, but after thinking about it, it would look great with red or turquoise, too. \u00a0The waist band just fits, so there’s incentive to keep those pound off, lol.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing about this leopard print fabric is that you actually have to treat it like a stripe. \u00a0The skirt consists of six panels, center front, center back, two side fronts and two side backs. \u00a0You have to be careful to center the stripe on the centers, and make sure the stripes match on the side pieces, otherwise it would just look off. (And, why, oh, why, is the crease in the center front so apparent in the photo, when I didn’t notice it at all irl?)<\/p>\n

\"simplicity-2058-skirt-pattern\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to making the shorter version, too, as I think the flare will be more apparent and kinda flirty.<\/p>\n

Here’s my pattern review:<\/p>\n

Pattern Description: <\/strong> Women’s skirt in two lengths with individual pieces given for slim, average and curvy fit. Includes customized fitting instructions.<\/p>\n

Pattern Sizing:<\/strong> 10-18, I made the 16 in curvy, but probably could have done the average.<\/p>\n

Did it look like the photo\/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?<\/strong> Yes, it’s very flattering.<\/p>\n

Were the instructions easy to follow?<\/strong> Yes, it’s a fairly straightforward pattern.<\/p>\n

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?<\/strong> I liked that fitting instructions were part of the pattern, especially because this no-waistband style needs to fit well in order to look good.<\/p>\n

Fabric Used:<\/strong> A rayon challis from Jo-Ann’s.<\/p>\n

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:<\/strong> I definitely recommend using an invisible zipper as the zipper is placed in the side seam.<\/p>\n

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?<\/strong> I do plan to make it again, perhaps in the shorter length.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong> This skirt works up quickly and is a great wardrobe staple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
