I made this using 1 1/2 yards of dupioni silk and 1/4 yard of Chinese brocade. I made the size 44. I’m overall quite pleased with how this came out.

Thanks, y’all! I wore this out on Saturday night and thought it looked good, if I do say so. Have fun with yours, Emma and Wenstupen!

I just bought some beautiful pink striped fabric today to make into a skirt but was unsure about a pattern. I think you have just made my decision for me. Looks beautiful.

I’m working on this skirt, and have been a little worried about how mine will come out, but if its half as cute as this one I will be super happy. Great work!
