It is very nice to see the longer skirts returning to fashion scene. Here's a nice slim one to consider:
The is the Lafayette 148 New York Rafferty Crepe Midi Skirt. Price tag: $398.00. Details: Waist darts front and back, falls straight from the hip, center back zip, back slit (looks like a kick pleat to me), falls below the knee, and lined. For a closer look, hop over to Neiman Marcus.
This type of skirt reminds me of the 80s and 90s. I am happy to see these return to fashion. Let's see what kind of patterns we can find.
This is McCalls 8051. It is a pattern for a pencil skirt in 5 different lengths. This pattern looks like a very good match to the inspiration pattern.You can't just make a skirt unless you already have something in your closet to go with it. On the Neiman Marcus site, they have an option to see how it's worn. A couple of options to make a complete look would be a tank and/or a button down shirt. I have a tank fitted so that would be super simple.
Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful and useful.
Happy Stitching!
