Description
Every girl needs a fun and flirty black skirt, so here is my version of the A-plus A-line skirt.
I used black gabardine with a shiny appearance, and finished the hem with silk bias tape. I also added pockets on the sides.
I wanted a special touch so I used faux leather to make a belt with a bow.
This was my entry for the ‘Show us your A-line skirt’ contest, and I got second place! I’m very happy! :)
Material Notes
Gabardine, silk bias tape, faux leather.

HI I am going to make one but am really unclear on the sizing, we look similar what size did you cut the pattern at?

So are the pockets just placed below the zipper?!? I love this skirt, and you’ve inspired me to make it (with pockets, I hope!)
