Found this wild-looking fabric in a second-hand store in country Victoria (Australia). There was only just enough fabric to make this skirt so it doesn’t sit as well as I’d like, as I didn’t follow the straight grain line as instructions indicated. I am wishing I lined it too. However, I think it’s bright and fun.

Looks great – really cosy for the cooler weather. I like using heavier/upholstery fabrics as they add interest (and warmth). I like the way you have paired it with black tights and jumper.
