Box Pleat Skirt

Print Page

Description

I've made something for me at last. I love box pleats. When this pattern came up in the Burda mag I had to make it. I wanted to bind the seams and bought some satin bias binding. It was completely the wrong colour. As I wanted to get going on the project I rumaged through my stuff and found some liberty lawn that would make great binding and I love it. The best combinations often come out of desperation!

Materials

Silk loose woven tweed. Liberty lawn - binding.

I like the style - great skirt. The binding is beautiful, I think you made a good choice there.

I love box pleats, too! It fits you perfectly and looks like the perfect spring skirt.

Great skirt! The binding combination makes it really special.

Oh, I know this pattern! It looks good on you - a simple skirt with effective details. At first, I was confused by the third picture, since I thought that was the skirt's face, then I read your comment :). I agree with Mirela - this could be a double-faced skirt. Maybe I'll make something similar :).
