This skirt’s been a long time coming – I think it’s two years since I bought this fabric!
It will shortly be on its way to Melanie, who has an enduring love affair with Paris, Versailles, and all things Marie Antoinette.
The skirt is different from my usual elasticated skirts – instead of just a front and a back, it’s made in eight panels. This was the best way to keep all of the Eiffel Towers the right way up! It also enabled me to make a skirt which was nice and full at the hem, but quite closely fitted over the hips.
The waistband is made from deep frilled elastic, the hem is trimmed with bias tape, and the fabric is by Michael Miller.
C’est très belle et merveilleuse! Merci beaucoup! 🙂
