Inspiration...Cargo Skirt

Today, I have found a cute little skirt.  It's called a cargo skirt but you decide.


This is the A-Line Belted Cargo Skirt by Akris punto.  Price tag: $395.00.  Details:  button waist closure, zip fly, side seam pocket, belted waist, cotton/polyester, dry clean, 33-inches long.  For closer view, check the Saks Fifth Avenue website.

What is the most surprising thing about the description?  For me, it was the 33-inch length.  I would believe 23".  How about you?  Let's see if we can find some patterns that might work.



This is New Look 6643. The skirt in this pattern gives a similar silhouette as the inspiration photo.  You have the a-line silhouette, the button waist and zip fly, and the side entry pockets.  The styling of the patch pocket and the belt are missing.  The belt is easy.  Here's a pattern that has the necessary styling:


This is Burda 6218.  This is a pant pattern which has the styling details from the inspiration photo.  The pockets and the belt.

I really would have like to find one pattern for this but couldn't.   However, I would double-check the pattern stash and see what you have there.  Both of these patterns offer  options.

Happy Stitching!
