Dressed - La Jupe.
Le Nope.
Continuing my quest through Dressed by Deer & Doe I thought I'd make the skirt pattern 'La Jupe'.
This was against my gut feeling and knowledge that I just don't wear skirts. At all. I did however want to try the whole book and I wondered whether this pattern might change my mind.
It did not.
What looks trendy and cool on many people just made me feel frumpy and about 87 years old. This pic was taken on my 37th birthday. I did not need that feeling.
At first I thought it was the length so I remembered Year 7 school skirt rolling up tricks and tried it on like that.
Still nope.
Fortunately I still have a large piece of this lovely berry viscose left and therefore 'la jupe' will face reincarnation at some point. I was actually saving it for another Myosotis dress and wish I had now however perhaps it can be squeezed into that in the end and fulfill it's proper destiny.
For now though at least I can say with 100% certainty. I don't do skirts.
I feel your pain! every now and then I decide to try again and maybe this time the skirt will be "the one!"......No, it never is....I also don't wear skirts!
