My tulip skirt was inspired by a BCBG dress. I saw it in the store and got so fascinated by the technique that I was standing there, touching it, and dissecting it in my head for some time until I got it. It is easy, but time consuming. At the end you get a flowy bubble effect. The skirt is made of satin, the wide-waist belt pattern was “borrowed” from Bella Pants.

Lovely! It must have taken ages to get the pleats right.

Wow, this looks so elegant and professionell! I really like the look of it. And respect that you sat out the difficulty (for me it is still a difficulty) of sewing satin ;)
