These two skirts were made for a sorority event my twin daughters had. They were supposed to be a modern twist on a 50’s style skirt. I made the skirts by using a Burda pattern #8176. I had to downsize the pattern as it smallest size was a 34 inch hip and my daughters have a almost 32 inch hip. The skirts have a yoke with a side zipper and the fabric is a black cotton polyester blend that has beautiful hand. They received lots of compliments on them at the event, which makes me very happy to know that they enjoyed them and were confident while wearing them.
Black cotton polyester fabric, black invisible zipper and bias tape for the underside seams to make hong kong seams.
