How to choose your size
- Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
- If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.

This skirt has an unusual technique for attaching the lining, but if you follow the instructions it makes sense. My favourite skirt I’ve made! I should have lengthened it a bit, as it is drafted for a shorter person than me. I’ll definitely be making another one, or two….

How haven’t I left a review for this yet, it’s the best skirt in the world! I wear my denim one loads.

I love this skirt. The fit is spot on as are the instructions. It’s rare to find a lined skirt which is so easy to put together….and no hand sewing required! It is the most comfy skirt I have. I made it in a linen with a cotton lining. Perfect for a hot summer Christmas Day here in Australia. There will be more.

As always goof clear instructions, with illustrations, the pattern fits together good. I love being able to print the size I want. This is my new favorite skirt.
