Description

I needed a simple black skirt, but wanted to give it a little bit of secret color. Enter, the Meringue by Colette. I opted for a waistband instead of facing. And without a dark lining in sight, I found a bottle of Rit dye and hand dyed the habotai lining before inserting it.

More on the blog if interested.

Material Notes

cotton twill, quilting cotton, silk habotai, invisible zip

Difficulty

Intermediate
