My favorite skirt has been my favorite since 2012 when I made it.
It is a simple circle skirt made from a heavy textured fabric I found at a thrift store during my college days. It is the perfect weight for a flowy circle skirt and has the most beautiful drape.
The pattern for a circle skirt is so simple. A true circle skirt would not have any seams or closures and would probably have an elastic waist. I made mine with a waistband and an invisible zipper at center back. It has side seams and a center back seam.
I took my waist measurement and used one fourth of that measurement as the width on the back and front pattern pieces. The skirt front piece was cut on the fold and the center back had some extra seam allowance for a center back seam.
I wear this skirt on a regular basis and have yet to find a skirt I love more, store-bought or handmade. I do, however, need to replace the zipper sometime soon. When I do that, I will also let the waist out a little bit. It was always a tad bit too tight..
When I hold the skirt out, it shows how full it really is. I love the fullness!
My parents' yard was the perfect dreamland to take a few pictures after church. My husband was so sweet to take these pictures for me.
Also, I had to get a few twirling shots to demonstrate the beauty of this skirt.
