Description

I shortened the Marie significantly because it looks like a sack if you are 5’4", well, at least on me. I made it out of an African fabric I bought in Marche Saint Pierre for like $2 a yard.

I was disappointed in the limited selection of African prints in mainstay Paris fabric stores, I guess I need to do some more investigating in St. Denis or somewhere! Does anybody know?

    The fabric is perfect for this skirt. I love how the pleats make the lines converge at center front waist.
