Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Made using the Meringue skirt pattern from the Colette Sewing Handbook. I added a lining, and adjusted the scalloped hem to suit the scale of my fabric. This also meant taking out a bit of width at the hem to avoid a half-scallop at the side-seam!
See more info on my blog!
Material Notes
Blue and white polka dot cotton poplin and an unknown white fabric for the lining.

Wow, what a great use of that fabric! Your pattern modifications and attention to the hem made for an amazing skirt! Now I wish we had that fabric in the states, too. :)

Thank you! You can probably find a fabric that would give a similar effect, maybe like this: http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=214d50b5-8419-4671-80e5-bd2ad2615d9d

I love how you positioned the fabric so that the scalloped edge came out just right…
Well done!
