Would I look too girly in a big ol' skirt? Or more importantly feel too ridiculous... turns out I bloody LOVE it. Who knew I'd be a fan of a massive skirt.
There's no pattern for this one - just winged it. It is roughly based on my Pleated Skirt Tutorial however if anyone would like a full step by step tutorial on how to make one of these please do leave a comment and I'll get one done - I have a feeling I'l be making more anyway!
This involved 2 big box pleats on the front and back pieces - and shaping of the front and back pieces to make it stick out a bit more in that classic midi-style. And last but not least - pockets! I think this is my favourite bit of the skirt, black satin pockets.
As the skirt has pockets I had to put an invisible zip up the back - this involves spliting the back piece in 2 to accomodate this. If I had ommitted the pockets I would have just stuck a zip in the side seam.
It's also fully lined with anti-static lining so I can wear with tights without any cling occurring :-)
Feel free to comment and come and say hello on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Bloglovin too :-) xx
That skirt is very chic for fall and you did it without a pattern!? Yep, that's awesome!
