    I bet that would be wonderful!! this is a very light corduroy, or else it woudn’t drape as well as it does.

    I was inspired by a cord skirt I saw that neiman marcus had….so beautiful!

  Beautiful! This technique is great. You should do a “how to”.

  Definitely inspirational! How much fabric did you use?

    I think about 2 yards. No more than a normal skirt. The panels allow for more economical use of the yardage than, say, an A-line or circle skirt. With cord you DO have to careful of the nap, tho.
