Another wonderful pattern I can’t recommend enough! I did add some length to the skirt, but the fit was perfect just following their directions. Even having a somewhat larger-than-average waist to hit ratio, the skirt worked up fitting perfectly without having to re cut the pattern! I used a fairly stiff satin to do the skirt, were I to do it again in something lighter I might add a bit of fullness to the back of the skirt, but it should work out fine just as it is.

I had a small problem with the ruffle on the underskirt–there wasn’t enough yardage for a proper gather after I’d cut it out and sewed it together, but that might have been because I mis-measured or forgot to put the pattern piece on the fold or something.

It went together beautifully in bridal-weight ivory taffeta. The directions were very clear, but I needed to add about 2″ to the length.
