A version for work. I had to bodge it a bit at the waist as the ‘finished garment size’ which I went on turned to be considerably bigger than I needed. But it is the most complicated thing I’ve made so far and I’m pleased with it.
Not sure – a grey herringbone stripe with a silver thread through it and a slight stretch

I like how you’ve shaped the waistband so that it has more of an hourglass shape. I’m thinking of making the Kasia skirt after my current project and when I do, I’m going to try what you did.
