I have been sewing for about 15 years and I have a LOT of things that are in my archives that I pull out from time to time. I have had this skirt for over a decade and it has proven itself timeless.
I styled my pink DIY skirt, this round, with little embellishment and all black touches.
The skirt was self-drafted. I would recommend McCalls pattern M6706 for making a similar skirt. The same look can be achieved by cutting the center and applying a zipper. Attach a tab front waistband and side seam pockets. The skirt requires about 2 -3 yards (depending the length and fullness of the pleats).
The fabric is a medium weight, slightly stiff synthetic blend.
