Hi Lisa! What a beautiful model! And the skirt and top is cute too! I am trying to get into a size 10, but my efforts are so futile! I think hormones are winning over! You look great! Love the challenge! You are such a creative lady! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

Thanks Mary!

Lovely skirt. It's really interesting to see how your original skirt and photo have inspired this make rather than just making a copy

I'd worked too hard on that stripe placement to not make this skirt somehow, someway!!!!! You will probably like that pattern. An easy sew, for a little tee. Thank you Sarah Liz.

I was hoping my explanation wasn't 'clear as mud'! I could 'understitch' the turned-down lining to the elastic in a separate seam, but am afraid it would shred my lining's thin fabric. Interesting this is generally staying all tucked in well though. You are right, it hadn't occured to me that it doesn't look like an elastic waist at all..... yes, I like that too! With the width of the woven fabric's 'waist', I can just barely get it over my hips, so am thinking that is why it doesn't gather too much at my waist because there's not that much excess fabric.... and what is, is kind of 'hidden' with the elastic tucked in and tacked at sides, but not top-stitched. Thank you for helping me think that one through Erin!

A lovely addition to the "nice'' skirt collection. It is a lovely skirt, and I do like the waistline finish - what a good idea, and thrilled for you that it worked, after all your effort cutting out the stripes to match.

The t shirt always works well for you. I'll have to try that pattern later this year.

It's a lovely skirt. The stripe placement turned out so well! And I really like your elastic waist that doesn't look like an elastic waist, if you know what I mean. Your explanation of how you did it was so clear, I understood it perfectly. I'm going to have to borrow your method one of these days as I love wearing elastic waist skirts.

Thank you Beverly!

The skirt turned out great! Nicer than the inspiration, IMHO. I see what you mean about being in the "nice" rather than "casual" side of the wardrobe, but it still looks so comfortable and breezy. Love the stripe matching!
