Inspiration...Midi Skirt

 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!
