I used an 80’s dress that I got at the vintage shop I work at for this skirt. It was a bit tricky because I didn’t have as much fabric to work with, but I think the material is really pretty! Stay tuned for the top that I’m making out of the other half of the dress…

Seriously, this is the best Marie skirt so far. The weight of your fabric makes such a difference. I’m definitely going to remember this if I decide to make one. Your picture is gorgeous as well. Excellent!
