Description

I wanted to make a little Summer skirt out of an African fabric I got a few days ago. To do so, I used the whole width of the fabric and made 6 inverted pleats out of it for the front. I did the same for the back and used an invisible zipper on one side.

Material Notes

African wax print fabric

    I made a skirt this way, very easy and very effective. I like yours, especially in this fabric.

    love the whole outfit. pleated skirts always look too boxy to me, this one is just perfect.
