So, I finally got to wear the basic pencil skirt that was made in the Alabama Chanin style. I loved the skirt! It is very comfortable. However, the fabric grew throughout the day and by mid-afternoon I was afraid that I was going to lose the skirt. Obviously, this is a fabric issue. What I don't know is if this is typical of the jersey fabric. I have always worn jersey as a top fabric and never noticed excessive growth in a top. With that in mind, I will be taking the skirt apart and reducing the circumference. Thankfully, this will be fairly easy. The hand stitching is easy to remove.
Thoughts on the fabric? It was 100% cotton jersey in a light weight. Could it be the weight of the fabric? I have located a source of a heavier weight jersey. I just need to order and give it try.
Happy Stitching!
