I used the pattern from Simplicity’s 1803 view A for the bodice and I made the circle skirt on my own. I’ve never made a circle skirt before but it’s really not that hard. I saw the striped fabric and I wanted to make something with it.
1 yard stretch cotton poplin (?), 16 in zip, 1 yard of satin, bias tape

Thank you! I found the fabric at my local Joann’s fabric store. The skirt was in the satin section. I’m glad you like the skirt. I wasn’t sure the circle skirt would be flattering on me.

I love the skirt. Stripes are a weakness for me. :)

Thank you! That’s a huge relief you like the skirt. I wasn’t sure how it would look on me. I love stripes too.
