i had been wanting to make a skirt like that! but I dont have a pattern for it. Its pretty impressive how you drafted it yourself!

Very cute! Would you consider making a "how-to" for this skirt? Pretty please:)

I made a PDF of the pattern drawing, but I couldn't work out where to upload it in the how-tos...so I tried to add it as a pattern. I guess that wasn't the right move. :D I'll try creating a how-to instead, meantime, I tossed the pdf on my server: instructions & pattern for Garbo Sz 48

Its a fabulous shape and a great fabric- are you sure it's a size 48 though, you look smaller than that...

Yeah!! thanks Foxydot! I have been wanting to make some skirts like this:)

are you sure it's a size 48 though, you look smaller than that...

LOL! Well, I have to admit, I'm not great with sizes. I'm all over the place when I use a prepared pattern (multi-size patterns are THE BEST!), and that's US sizes... (12-10-16 for chest-waist-hip). The finished skirt has a 48" hip circumference, so I figured with wearing ease, it's a 48. But if you just use your measurements, you'll get a great fit at any size.

I took the printed out pdf and laid it over the hand-drawn pattern last night, and I did make the arch on the flare a little tighter on the pdf. I'm going to try to fix it later on today, but I thought I'd let you know that you might want to ease up on the tight part of the curve there. (I was drawing in Illustrator from my math notes, not scans of my hand-drawn pattern.)
