When I first saw this skirt, I knew it was something I wanted. It’s basically a classic A-line skirt, which I love! This skirt comes in two lengths with two waistband options. I chose to use facing and not add a waistband (the other option is to use a waistband).

I prefer the facing option because I think it gives a cleaner, smoother finish and I can install the zipper up to the edge of the skirt.

I used a piece of polyester suiting fabric that I’ve had for years to make this skirt. Mine is also lined, which is another option that’s included in the pattern.

This, by the way, is the longer version of the skirt. There is a shorted version in the pattern.

This is definitely a skirt that can easily become a wardrobe staple.It’s also the kind of thing that looks good on every woman. I also like it because it was very easy to make. It’s event a great project for a beginner to tackle. I didn’t have to make any alterations or changes to the skirt, but you could do a lot with this pattern (add pockets: in-seam or otherwise, lengthen it for a midi or maxi, use different fabric techniques, etc.).

I think this is the kind of thing that I can make over and over again to come up with something different each time.
