Full Skirt Attempt Two

I finished this a couple of weeks ago..... Where oh where does time go?
Jessica has a favorite skirt she bought from ATL  a few years ago that she wants more of. This was my second try and I think I got it. Now I just need to make hers. When I do I'll show more detail and my first attempt. We took these photos last night, the tired, goofy factor was pretty high. I could blame it on the smoke in the air... There are a lot of fires here right now and this is not a cloud haze it is a smoke haze.
Back to the skirt, it has a 4 inch drop waist and a side zip, which I like because it makes a smooth waistline.
It's made with a cotton lawn and lined with a white batiste. 
It has pockets, you could leave out the pockets but I love pockets. 
 It has just enough gathering to make it comfy and flirty. You can dress it up with a blouse or go more casual with a T or tanks.
Found the perfect pair of sandals at Target to go with it.
Jess, I promise I will get yours done soon!!

LOVE it! So super cute and just full enough to look fun.

AND, I saw the exact same sandals and tried them on, but it was too big. They didn't have them in my size. Boo.

Oh I love that skirt! The layered top and those sandals are perfect for it, too. You look like something out of a fashion magazine. :)

Lovely skirt! I tried on some skirts at the weekend and not only were they expensive, but they made me look like I was a gnome with a massive bottom. It sort of made me feel good because sometimes when I've made a skirt it's looked the same and I thought it was my sewing - it may just be the style!
