twirly skirt for emelia



just whipped this up quickly (well except the ribbon which was a PITA). it was an ottobre pattern but no idea which one as it wasn't written on the pattern and i'd cut the pieces out before chirstmas last year LOL i'd bought the fabric after being inspired by an incredibly simple yet incredibly expensive fred bare skirt last summer (of course it looked nothing like this one, i think it had pleats in it lol)

i think i've cut the elastic too big again, uggggghhhh

the ribbon was a pain because silly me (brain totally fudged by this rotten and aching tooth) cut the ribbon 1.6 x the length of the bottom tier, when it was to be attached to the top tier...

Brazen, what gorgeous fabric. I love the little ruffle, it looks great! Hope your tooth feels better soon, nothing worse than a tooth ache!

Brazen, I think it looks great. I have tried something similar before, without a pattern, but my top section always ends up too big so it doesn't have the same effect. It just ends up looking rather big and baggy. Yours looks fabulous!
