I made this skirt last year, barely wore it, tossed it into my summer clothes bin when it got cold, and pretty much forgot about it. When summer rolled around again, I pulled it out of my bin and realized that it’s actually pretty nice!
I used a pattern from Alison Smith’s book Dressmaking. It has a side lapped zipper, which was one of the first zippers I’d ever sewn, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. The above-knee length is perfect, and the skirt goes well with the white shirt I made recently. It’s perfect for dressing either up or down, and I’ve worn it both as an everyday skirt and as an outfit for Mass!
