The skirt has a wonderful line to it and was very simple to sew. The whole ensemble was a great hit at our town’s celebration of the train depot centennial.

This pattern is simple and straightforward, and a joy to use for beginning sewers or advanced seamstresses. It creates striking results on which I get complimented often. I altered the back so it wouldn’t drag as a train but rather hang evenly for everyday wear. I’ve made several for everyday use out of many different fabrics and put horsehair in the hem so it stands out more in a lovely a-line drape. Be sure every piece is cut correctly on fabrics with nap or it will look very odd. This style seems to be flattering to most figures, though it seems to run just a little bit large.
