I just made this skirt over the weekend. It was pretty easy. I used silk taffeta in red so that I will wear it for the holidays.

I’m planning on making this out of a silky bamboo twill that is relatively heavy while retaining drape. It’s quite magical. Any one out there disagree with the fabric before I cut it out? What were some of the winners in terms of fabrics to use? Thanks ladies!

I discovered an interesting thing – on fashion-era.com, there’s a 60s fashion plate with a skirt very similar to this one! link
