  Very nice! I have a similar fabric in my stash since quite a while without knowing what to do with it – maybe i will make a skirt like yours!

  i love this outfit- clean lines, great fit, and small details like pockets and ruffle that don’t overwhelm. is the skirt from a pattern? or self drafted?

    Thanks! The skirt is made from my favorite skirt pattern, Simplicity 8418 (from 1969). I’ve made many versions, including this one here: http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/tulip-pocket-skirt

  That skirt is perfect! I love what you’ve done with the direction of the plaid on the pockets :-)

    Thanks! I got the idea for the pockets from my 1930s Sears catalog book. So simple but adds a nice touch!
