This skirt was inspired by the Vocal Celebrity Skirt from Modcloth. The skirt was self-drafted and is a simple rectangle gathered at the waist. I inserted an invisible zipper and sewed the lace on to the hem. I didn’t have any cream silk or silk charmeuse so I made a sash belt from cotton swiss dot in my stash.
All the materials from this project except for the lace came from my stash. I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of making this skirt, but it came together pretty well with what what was in my stash. A more accurate version would have a silk or charmeuse sash. Mine was cotton since that was what I had on hand. I didn’t compromise on the tall wide lace for the hem since I think that makes the look.
That looks great Janice, well done.
Very cute! Love it :D
Very cool skirt. Very very cool.
Very cute take on the ModCloth version!
The skirt turned out beautiful. Love the lace.
Pretty!
So cute, and I love how you’ve paired it with the nautical shirt so it’s not too sweet.
That’s a really great skirt to dress up or down, and it’s given me an idea for all that wide vintage lace I got at an estate sale……hmmm….
Did you attach the sash to the waistband, or did you make it a separate belt?
I really like the skirt you’ve made. I never quite know how to use lace on a project and this looks fantastic.
Super pretty.
