I used the sidonie pattern and put the front pleats in similar to one of the skirts in “Sew What! Skirts”. I also replaced the waistband with bias tape, another Sew What Skirts trick, and added a back pocket, because I need pockets. The fabric is from a sheet I got at a thrift store.

Ohh! I love the fabric! Good choice in pattern, so punky/preppy. I can imagine you stomping around in docs and a twinset!
